...read as a chronicle of Kunen's incestuous relationship with his Random House contract. He treats the book like a colossal term paper, trying to get started and finding ever-fresh devices for procrastination. Like Mailer at the conventions he casts about rather self-consciously for figures to interview (Mark Rudd, Dean Deane, the station manager of WABC) and events to experience and record (a Red Sox game, a McCarthy rally). This processor for filling out the book does not work out nearly so badly as one would expect, though. The instant success that followed Kunen's first appearance...
...easy to say. Perhaps all the wit, self-deflation, and incidental reporting are just softening up Mr. and Mrs. America for the punch of Kunen's radical message." "A good D.J. is friendly, congenial and amusing, the sort of person you trust," he notes after the WABC interview, and perhaps a good young revolutionary author is the same sort of person.

The government clerks passed any high school kid who could lie about his age with a straight face and any drunk who could look sober enough for a three-minute interview. The recruits then piled into two buses and drove off to a smoke-jumper base...
...time in an interview which lasted an hour and a half did I say or suggest that opposition to ROTC at Harvard was confined to Maoists. What I did say was that a significant part of the leadership in the seizure of University Hall came from members of or candidates for membership in the Progressive Labor Party--a fact which appears to be generally accepted by all students and faculty with whom I have spoken. The characterization of that party as Maoist was not mine but that of the Sun reporter...
