EXCERPT – from “Once upon a time in Texas: a liberal in the Lone Star State,” by David Richards.

One of the more improbable figures around the garden was Louis Buck, the 350-pound veterinarian. Louis made house calls and was much favored for this reason. It was rumored that he was the last-resort source for speed for Bill Brammer in Bill’s later years, dispensing pooch pep pills to help Bill through his darker days. In the sixties, Louis decided to become an Episcopalian minister and entered the seminary. Many seminarians of that era attended to avoid going to Vietnam, since a religious education was a source of draft deferments. Louis was much too old for that concern and was there out of his own convictions. Upon his confirmation as an Episcopalian minister, the bishop assigned him to a church in Killeen, Texas. Killeen was the home of Fort Hood, the nation’s largest army mechanized post and a town rife with war fever. After a few weeks, Louis was back in the garden recounting his success as a fledgling minister. When asked the size of the congregation, he explained that it was 230 on his first Sunday, when he preached on the evils of war. After his third Sunday, when his sermon revealed that the makers of war could not be received into heaven, the flock had dwindled to 88. We expressed concern about the decline in attendance, but Louis was unfazed. He explained that the Book of Common Prayer urged the necessity of purifying the congregation, and he felt that he was well on the way to achieving that goal. The church hierarchy did not share Louis’s view, however, and he was shortly thereafter moved on to other pastures. A few years later, he was involved in a rancorous dispute with the Episcopal bishop of Texas over some free-speech issue, and his card was jerked. He returned to Scholz Garden none the worse for wear.

BASIC FACTS

Marilyn Jean Buck was born on 13 December 1947 in Temple, Bell Co., Texas.¹ She died on 3 August 2010, at age 62, in Brooklyn, New York.³

Marilyn Jean Buck had reference number 17656. Marilyn Jean Buck (born 1947 in Jasper, Texas) is an American self-described life-long anti-racist and anti-imperialist activist, [1] and a convicted felon, convicted of conspiracy in a number of violent crimes. She has been convicted for her participation in the 1979 prison break of black activist Assata Shakur, as well as conspiracy to commit armed robbery as a participant with members of the Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army in the 1981 Brinks robbery, in which she rented a safe house for the robbers and drove the getaway car. [2] [3] [4] She was also convicted of conspiracy for her role in the 1983 U.S. Senate bombing and the bombings of three military installations in the Washington D.C. area and four sites in New York City. [5] Buck received an 80-year sentence for the bombings, which she is serving at FCI Dublin in California. While in prison, Buck has contributed articles to Sojourners Magazine, Monthly Review (Buck et al. 2001, Buck 2004), and Social Justice, as well as other journals and anthologies (James 2003, James 2005), on the subjects of women in prison,
solitary confinement, and related issues. She received a PEN American Center prize for poetry in 2001.
1. Early life
Buck is the daughter of a minister. She attended the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Texas.
2. 1960s activism
After organizing in support of Native American, Palestinian, Iranian and Vietnamese sovereignty, Buck joined Students for a Democratic Society in 1967 and subsequently worked with San Francisco's Third World Newsreel.
3. 1973 conviction, fugitive
In 1973 she was convicted on two counts of purchasing ammunition using false identification in her role as gunrunner for the Black Liberation Army, and sentenced to ten years in prison. [6] Buck was given a furlough from prison and went underground instead of returning.
4. Role in Brink's robbery
Buck played a key role in the Brinks robbery of 1981 in which a guard and two police officers were killed. She drove the getaway car as well as providing the robbers with a safehouse and weapons. [2] During the investigation into the armed robbery and killings, investigators found "a supply of automatic weapons, shotguns, ammunition, bomb-making material and something else that made their blood run cold: detailed blueprints of six Manhattan police precincts," [4] in an apartment in East Orange, New Jersey rented by "Carol Durant," an alias of Buck's. Police found papers there that led them to an address in Mount Vernon, New York, where they found bloody clothing and ammunition: "Investigation later revealed that the bloody clothing belonged to Marilyn Buck, who had accidentally shot herself in the leg when she tried to draw her weapon during the shootout at Mountainview." [4]
5. 1983 arrest
In 1983 Buck was recaptured and charged as a participant in successfully assisting convicted felon Assata Shakur to escape from federal prison.
6. United States Capitol bombing
Main article: 1983 United States Senate bombing
In 1985, she and six others were convicted in the Resistance Conspiracy case, a series of bombings in protest of United States foreign policy in the Middle East and Central America. [7]
The May 12, 1988 indictment described the goal of the conspiracy as being "to influence, change and protest policies and practices of the United States Government concerning various international and domestic matters through the use of violent and illegal means" and charged the seven with bombing the United States Capitol Building, three military installations in the Washington D.C. area, and four sites in New York City. The military sites bombed were the National War College at Fort McNair, the Washington Navy Yard Computer Center, and the Washington Navy Yard Officers Club. In New York City, the sites bombed were the Staten Island Federal Building, the Israeli Aircraft Industries Building, the South African consulate, and the offices of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association. [5]
Five of those charged in the case have since been released from prison and one was never captured, leaving Buck the only conspirator still in prison. Her Federal Prison register number is 00482-285. Her projected release date is August 8, 2010. [8]
7. As an author
Buck has contributed articles on women in prison, solitary confinement, and related issues to Sojourners Magazine, Monthly Review (Buck et al. 2001, Buck 2004), and Social Justice, as well as other journals and anthologies (James 2003, James 2005).
Marilyn Buck is an accomplished poet, having received a PEN American Center prize for poetry in 2001. Her poems have appeared in the anthologies Hauling Up the Morning (Blunk and Levasseur 1990), Wall Tappings (Scheffler 2002), Igniting a Revolution: Voices in Defense of the Earth (Buck 2006), Seeds of Fire (Anderson 2008), and in her chapbook, Rescue the Word (2002). Her poems as well as those by David Meltzer, Mitsuye Yamada, Uchechi Kalu, and others appear on the audio CD Wild Poppies (Freedom Archives 2004). Her translations and introduction to Cristina Peri Rossi's poetry have appeared in State of Exil.

OBITUARY - Associated Press, Sunday, August 8, 2010

Marilyn Buck, 62, a member of the leftist group the Weather Underground who spent 25 years in prison for her role in some of the most notorious radical crimes of the 1980s, including the bombing of the U.S. Capitol and a deadly armored car heist, died Aug. 3 in Brooklyn, N.Y.
She had uterine cancer and was paroled July 15 from a federal prison hospital in Fort Worth.
Ms. Buck belonged to a clique of antiwar and civil rights activists who took up arms in the 1970s and became involved in a series of politically motivated attacks on government and corporate targets. On Oct. 20, 1981, she was part of a group of Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army members who ambushed a Brink's armored car carrying $1.6 million at a mall in Nanuet, N.Y.
One guard was killed at the scene and a second was badly wounded. Two police officers were killed after they pulled over one of the getaway cars.
Ms. Buck accidentally shot herself in the leg during the gun battle with police, but she escaped and remained free for four years.
During that time, she was involved in a series of bombings that included a 1983 nighttime blast at the Capitol that damaged Senate offices but caused no injuries. The bomb was purportedly placed to protest the U.S. invasion of Grenada.
After her 1985 capture in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., she was convicted in the Brink's robbery and other crimes.
Prosecutors said she helped Black Liberation Army leader Joanne Chesimard, who had been convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper, escape from prison and flee to Cuba in 1979. Ms. Buck also was implicated in another 1981 armored car robbery in which a guard was killed.
In 1988, she pleaded guilty to taking part in the Capitol bombing, although she later said she only took the deal to spare fellow radicals from lengthy prison terms.
Other bombings covered by her plea agreement included attacks on a federal building, on a police union and the South African consulate in New York City and at the Washington Navy Yard and National War College in Washington.
Ms. Buck insisted that she was a victim of state oppression.
"I am a political prisoner, not a terrorist," she said at a court appearance in 1988.
In jail, she wrote poetry and continued to enjoy the support of left-wing radicals who occasionally called for her release.
Ms. Buck discovered leftist politics as a student at the University of California at Berkeley, and she joined Students for a Democratic Society after transferring to the University of Texas.
By 1973, she was in serious legal trouble for her affiliation with the Black Liberation Army. At age 26, she was sentenced to 10 years in prison on charges that she bought guns and ammunition for the group. She was four years into that term in 1977 when she failed to return from a prison furlough and became a fugitive.
She was free for eight crime-filled years before her recapture.

OBITUARY #2 - By Friends of Marilyn Buck, East Coast chapter

Our Dear Marilyn Buck has joined the ancestors
On Tuesday, August 3, 2010, long-time political prisoner and acclaimed poet and translator Marilyn Buck, 62, passed peacefully at her home in Brooklyn, New York.
A few short weeks earlier, on July 15th, Marilyn had been released from the federal Bureau of Prisons medical facility in Carswell, Texas and paroled to New York City. Thanks to the efforts of her long-time friend and lawyer Jill Soffiyah Elijah, her release came several weeks before the date originally set for her release on parole, August 8th.
Marilyn served a total of 33 years of an 80-year prison sentence for politically motivated actions undertaken in support of self-determination and national liberation and in opposition to racial injustice and U.S. imperialism. Throughout her years in prison, Marilyn remained a steadfast supporter of fellow political prisoners and an advocate for the women with whom she was imprisoned.
While incarcerated, Marilyn earned several educational degrees, including a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and Master of Arts degrees in poetics. She published several books of poems including “Rescue the Word” (Friends of Marilyn Buck, 2001), “Wild Poppies,” original poetry by and for Marilyn Buck (audio CD, Freedom Archives, 2004), and the highly acclaimed “State of Exile,” by Cristina Peri Rossi and Marilyn Buck (City Lights, 2008). Her poetry and essays have been printed in a wide variety of journals and books. In recent years she was preparing a new collection of poetry, to be published early next year under the title “Inside Shadows.”
Marilyn became involved in the civil rights and anti-war movements and joined the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) during her college years at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of California, Berkeley. In the following years she became an active supporter of the Puerto Rican, Native American and Black liberation struggles in this country. She was a consistent and outspoken advocate of liberation and equality for women.
Near the end of 2009, Marilyn was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. Despite surgery and chemotherapy, treatment came too late to save her life.
Marilyn is survived by three brothers, three sisters-in-law; several cousins, nieces and nephews; Soffiyah Elijah, and other loving friends worldwide including prisoners, political prisoners, prisoners of conscience and political exiles. Her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Louis Buck, both pre-deceased her.
Memorial gatherings will be scheduled in the future in New York City, San Francisco, Texas and Puerto Rico. Funds raised for her hoped-for transition to the free world that had not been dispersed at the time of her death will be used according to her wishes to assist other aging prisoners and advance social justice efforts.
