He died before he had mastered his craft, but rarely in recent years has the theater lost such an original imagination...
...free of what? Certainly not of American yahoo aspirations-Billy intends to buy a home in Florida with his share of the loot. This is what Hopper insists on in his interviews: that when Wyatt says to Billy "We blew it" what they're really saying is that they're no different from the two guys in the truck.

"I said there was a tall, lanky kid that led 150 airplanes across Berlin. He was an actor, but that...
Nauseating. Certainly money was a major reason for Mrs. Gallagher's venture; her husband recently boasted of plans to add a room to their modest house "after we get some loot." Few, however, could understand why she was quite so vindictive. One friend of the author discounts a story that Mrs. Galagher was smarting over a dressing down, and maintains that she adored J.F.K. and resented Jackie's self-indulgence and seeming lack of concern for the President...
