He suggests that countries stuck in irreconcilable disputes "rent the Falklands and fight their battles there." Mailer is asked about homosexuality, another subject on which he has been illiberally truculent: "My feeling is, and you're all going to boo at this, homosexuals want to become heterosexual...
