...resent his narrow-minded attack and I suspect that Mr. Mailer may belong to a group known as BLAH. The acrostic for this is Bigoted Liberal And How. Now this is no reflection on the honest liberal who thinks for himself and allows others that privilege, but only applies to the type of thinking that Mr. Mailer has projected, which in itself is barbaric and profoundly nihilistic...
...atmosphere, which is rather like a tasteful commune for conservatives. Ornate paintings and antique furniture decorate the common rooms; cocktails are served in front of a roaring fireplace before Sunday dinner.

Its only a conjecture, but maybe the chicken gumbo sitting in your kitchen cupboard tells less about ourselves in this age of media and masscult than Warhols jazzy repro, resting...
