...took German prosecutors nine years to prepare the case for trial. The date was finally set for May 1968, but since then Wagner, who is out on bail, has won one postponement after another by changing attorneys and claiming ill health. Last July he underwent an eye operation three days before his long-delayed trial was to begin...
...visible and oblivious to the other. It is a form of double vision. The sight of the people dancing makes play-goers see the people who are dying with a disconcerting clarity.

...middle of the national political conventions Far from the aloof commentators who dissected this year's campaign at a distance, Mailer plunged pen first into the tumult of the floor. He managed to impale nearly everyone on its point and came out grinning with a delegate's-eye-view of the American political process at work, and slyly ingenious speculations and insights into what--really--was going...
