"Every four years the naive half who vote are encouraged to believe that if we can elect a really nice man or woman President everything will be all right. But it won't be. Any individual who is able to raise $25 million to be considered presidential is not going to be much use to the people at large. He will represent oil, or aerospace, or banking, or whatever moneyed entities are paying for him. Certainly he will never represent the people of the country, and they know it. Hence, the sense of despair throughout the land as incomes fall, businesses fail and there is no redress." ~ Gore Vidal 19 hours ago - Via Google+ - View - Gail Stanley : Watch the video: 'Gore Vidal knows how to manipulate media' Film maker Nicholas Wrathall declares he is 'a huge fan' of Gore Vidal after following the famous American writer's last years for his latest documentary sho... 1 day ago - Via Google+ - View - Wealthy Mindsets : "When anyone says to me, 'Can you keep a secret?'

For a book that bills itself as the greatest novel about WW II, it has taken me until 2013 to get through the part of all the back stories of the soldiers in the platoon. But I wanted to understand that video clip that I'd seen replayed on broadcast television: Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal Feud on the Dick Cavett Show I wanted to understand the underpinnings of him as a mean drunk. More ambitiously, you could learn about him as the progenitor of New Journalism, but I didn't set my sights so high. After reading the surprisingly good tail end of the book, I was surprised that he was alive and kicking out books until 2007. For some reason I pictured him to be like the old, old veterans in uniform presented at football games. So if we are impressed with his debut about WW II we could follow along to see what he thought about the 9/11 wars. I found a nugget in the book that to me speaks of the mean drunk that he was in the video clip. It's about the sergeant of the platoon killing a bird that one of the grunts had found: <blockquote>"Give me that bird." Roth passed it to him, and Croft held it for a moment. He could feel the bird's heart beating like a pulse against his palm. Its tiny eyes darted about frantically, and Croft's anger worked into his fingertips. It would be the simplest thing to crush it in his hand; it was no bigger than a stone and yet it was alive. Strange impulses pressed through his nerves, along his muscles like water forcing itself through fissures in a rock mass. He wavered between compassion for the bird and thick lusting tension in his throat. He didn't know whether to smooth its soft feathers or mash it in his fingers, and the impulse confused and powerful, shimmered in his brain like a card on edge about to fall. "Can I have it back Sergeant?" Roth pleaded. The sound of his voice, already defeated worked a spasm through Croft's fingers. He heard a little numbly the choked squeal of the bird, the sudden collapsing of its bones. It thrashed powerlessly against his palm, and the action aroused him to nausea and rage again. He felt himself hurling the bird away over the other side of the hollow, more than a hundred feet. His breath expelled itself powerfully; without realizing it, he had not inhaled for many seconds. The reaction left his knees trembling.</blockquote> It's only purple prose, if you can't sustain the rhythm of the balancing grey prose. Later, Israel is called the heart of nations by the soldier Roth. Any deeper into Mailer and you'd have to go biographical, and I don't mean Wikipedia by that. I'm not that curious, I've done enough to satisfy my reaction to seeing this video clip before I'd ever had a drop myself. I like to read books together that reinforce themselves, when I'm on my rare nonfiction binges. Conveniently I have Eichmann in Jerusalem part way done on my smart phone already, so I will finally be able to feel educated by the source of the phrase, "the banality of evil."

The United States of Amnesia: New Doc Captures Late Gore Vidal’s Last Will and Testament WordandFilm.com: Fred Kaplan’s 1999 biography of the American expatriate Gore Vidal clocks in at over 800 pages and weighs more than a typical newborn. The writer’s own memoirs span across two volumes. When faced with the task of summing Vidal’s event-packed, 86 years in a 90-minute film, documentarian Nicholas Wrathall just laughs at the near impossibility of it all.
