We are especially grateful to Wynne and Alan Hayakawa who opened the family's archive to us. Many clippings, reprints, and notes, including diaries and letters, that would have been virtually impossible to track down were as a result available to us, albeit not always with complete bibliographic information. Nevertheless, they constituted a wonderful and unexpected source of information.

Had we known that we might one day write a biography of Don Hayakawa, we'd have taken notes of our many conversations. Too late now. We have minimized our own input and have done our best to accurately paraphrase Hayakawa in those places where we employ his comments to us.

ADDENDUM A: Hayakawa and Homophobia

After the manuscript of In "Thought and Action: The Enigmatic Life of S.I. Hayakawa" had already gone to press, a fellow writer whom I much respect, Greg Robinson, mentioned that Hayakawa had been homophobic. I was shocked, since he'd seemed enlightened to me in the 1960s with his insistence that what consenting adults did in private was their own business. During that decade, I worked with Hayakawa on ETC.: A Review of General Semantics, and his chief lieutenant was a gay man.

Greg was kind enough to send me evidence that included newspaper reports that showed the senator flip-flopping on California's Briggs Initiative as well as supporting Anita Bryant's anti-gay Florida campaign, both evidence of a concern about homosexual teachers. He also sent an article by Pat Sherman entitled "Moments in Time: Our 'best' long shot" that had appeared in Gay San Diego (http://www.gay-sd.com/moments-in-time-our-best-long-shot/, posted 2/2/11) that describes the 1979 City Council run of Dr. Al Best, saying in part, "Former U.S. Sen. S.I. Hayakawa, who stayed with Best and courted the gay vote while campaigning for the Senate in 1976, turned his back on Best once in office, denouncing homosexuals as 'sick and perverted'."

Responding to Best's outrage over the comment, Hayakawa reportedly replied in a letter to him, "Thank you for expressing your concern about legislation that would end discrimination on the basis of sexual or affectional [sic] preference. Homosexuality is a failure of emotional masturbation [sic?]--and it is nonsense to pretend that it is an 'alternative lifestyle,' with the same authenticity and the same value to society as sexual normality."

In a later telephone conversation, Dr. Best verified that S.I.H. had indeed used the expression "sick and perverted." He also said that Hayakawa had employed the word "maturation" not "masturbation" in his letter that followed. I did not see the quoted letter, but I have no doubt that Dr. Best possesses it.

When I suggested to him that the language of the note did not read like anything I ever heard Hayakawa say or anything he would have written, Dr. Best responded simply and quite reasonably that he had received the letter with the signature of S.I.H. I later asked Alan Hayakawa, the senator's journalist son and his one-time aide, his take on the letter; he agreed that the language didn't resemble his father's, so it had likely been written by a staffer and signed with a "robo-pen." That is where matters presently stand.

ADDENDUM B:

Three members of the Hayakawa household story have passed away since the Senator’s death:

  • Margedant Peters “Marge” Hayakawa died February 2, 1998.
  • Mark Hayakawa died May 27, 2005.
  • Daisy Rosebourgh died January 24, 2010. (at her request, Mark Hayakawa’s ashes were buried with her.)
