...anger. In this case, the rage is directed, for reasons still unclear, at Tom Brokaw, Tom Daschle and someone at the New York Post. "They represent something to him," says Fitzgerald. "Whatever agenda he's operating under, these people meant something to him." Indeed, the FBI is hoping the mailer might have spoken contemptuously of them to an acquaintance who will recall the incident...

Think how Mailer's way would have been eased if he could have made a few commercial arrangements. In describing Gary Gilmore's state-sponsored sendoff in 'The Executioner's Song,' Mailer might have billboarded a certain make of rifles and ammunition.
