Description

A philosopher-crank, Bruce Calvert led organizations including the Harmonic School of Rational Education, the Universal Brotherhood of Man, and the World’s League for a Sane Christmas—the latter advocated restraint in gifting. His bimonthly Open Road, which he dubbed a “Zinelet,” combined various authors’ advocacy, aphorisms, poetry and praise for Bruce Calvert. He excoriated Zoe for living in cities, deeming them an unhealthy “underworld of darkness,” just before he moved from Indiana to Brooklyn.
