By Peter Roberts. In the late sixties, Alex "the Sage" Vaughan, was a brief publishing phenomenon. His seminal book Utterances was for many the key to life. After a few years associating with rock stars and enjoying celebrity status, he disappeared from public view. Thirty years later, two Californian academics travelled to England to search forthe forgotten master of the philosophical soundbite, blazing a comic trail through the detritus of sixties' popular culture.
