...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...
...what you will about the cult of celebrity, but it is interesting to see young Al Pacino reclining in his apartment on Fourteenth Street (1969) or to see Norman Mailer sandwiched between two reels of film as he worked on the film Law and Order, his second documentary (1968).
