MILLER The Heat of Us: Notes Toward an Oral History FROM Uncanny Magazine   Craig Perry, university administration employee   JUDY GARLAND, DEAD. That’s where it started. Dead five days before, in London, “an incautious overdosage” of barbiturates, according to the coroner, and her body had just come back to New York for burial. Twenty thousand people lined up to pay their respects. Every gay man in Manhattan must have gone, but I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t go see her in that coffin and disturb... the delicate Dorothy Gale I had in my head. I don’t know, I needed to move, to walk, to run. To do something. So I headed for the Hudson River Piers.
My sadness buoyed me up, made me feel like I was looking down on the entire city. I watched the sky go blue and orange and red and purple and indigo as the sun set, then watched the lights come on across the river in Jersey City. June 1969: The wet Manhattan air was like sick breath coming out of our collective throat.
I felt it in me, then.
