Legends, transmitted through an oral tradition, are notoriously unreliable. Yet those confided to Maziere seemed to yield strong evidence that Easter Island has passed through three epochs. In the first, the island was inhabited by "the Others," who, according to native tradition, "were yellow, very big, with long arms. They came by boat from a land that lies beyond America." It was the yellow men, Maziere believes, who created the first stone giants, the finest sculptures on the island. In the second epoch, which in Maziere's rough chronology began in the 13th century, the island was invaded...
...plastered with sensing devices. These are wired to a console that lights up like a berserk jukebox as the couple begins intercourse. To complete the burlesque, a Harpo Marxish doctor hovers around, leering at the pair with the added cyclopean eye of a dental mirror. Other skits treat oral sex and masturbatory fantasies with sportive humor, and the sprinkling of quadriliterals beginning with the letters f, c, and s are more festive than aggressive.

A sound tape was also made of each hearing...

Charging that Gore Vidal waged "a campaign of persistent, false and defamatory allegations, both oral and written, that he is a Nazi," Conservative Columnist William Buckley filed suit asking for $500,000 in damages. The charges stemmed from a fang-and-claw exchange that took place on ABC-TV during the Democratic Convention last August. At one point in the debate, Vidal called Buckley a "crypto-Nazi," to which Buckley replied: "Listen, you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I'll sock...
