...young man's autobiography did not follow the plot. Although Mailer continued to write prodigiously, he never again came close to his first great acclaim. Barbary Shore, his second novel, was a flop. His third, The Deer Park, a study of the tribal sex practices of Hollywood, was a bestseller largely because the word got around that it was dirty (it was), but the critics frowned. By the time his Advertisements for Myself-a threadbare collection of past and future projects, loosely stitched together with some narcissistic autobiographical notes-appeared, late last year, it was all too clear that...
Back at the house, the two men talked intermittently during the next 24 hours, with time out for a deer hunt by the dawn's early light (Kennedy and Johnson each bagged two bucks-the legal limit) and Lyndon and Lady Bird's 26th wedding anniversary dinner (one anniversary gift: a silver tray, from "Jack and Jackie").

...eight centuries, regulations have proliferated as fast as the ivy at Britain's tradition-loving Oxford University. Still technically on Oxford's books are Latin-couched laws forbidding gladiators, rope dancers and deer hunting on the premises. More irritating, because still enforced. are such medieval regulations as the one that imposes a midnight curfew on all undergraduates. Fighting the rules is generally futile. It is Oxford legend that when one modern undergraduate demanded the pint of ale to which he was entitled when taking examinations, the university proctors duly presented him with his tankard-together with a stiff...
While others were noisily campaigning across the nation last week, the Northern Cheyenne Indian tribe quietly held an election of its own in the rolling lands and rough mountains of Montana. Among the victors: Johnny Woodenlegs of Lame Deer, Mont., re-elected President; John Stands in the Timber, John Kills on Top Sr., August Spotted Elk, William Hollowbreast, Clarence Spotted Wolf, members of the tribal council...
