...full of crap as I am." When hecklers mustered the temerity to shout "Publicity hound!" at him, Mailer managed to pronounce flawlessly his all-purpose noun, verb and expletive...
Seventy-eight per cent of the songs are from the years '64-'67, and 1966 alone is responsible for 108. The 23 records from the pre-1960 era, led by "Hound Dog" at No. 21, are songs that "belong" on such a list, and are probably not popular choices of old-timers.

The single true vein among the mounds of pyrite will come along around 6:30 tonight. Numbers 246 to 253 include the only two songs from...
Right up to the moment that the billowing blue percale veil covering Pablo Picasso's 50-ft. sculpture came tumbling down last week in Chicago, the debate continued.

Written by hardened New York novelists and journalists, they cover the town with a cynical gallantry and inverse snobbery typical of the big-city provincial. This prevailing tone accounts for both the strengths and weaknesses of the book. It is authentic-mirroring the New Yorker's romance with artistic success and mechanical failure, Jewishness, the infallibility of cab drivers and elevator men, the superiority of Manhattan parks, ghettos and delicatessens.
