Truth and beauty. That's what Author-turned-Film Maker Norman Mailer says he's after, and despite the critical catcalls over his first movie, he's still in there cranking away. The latest is a flick about a paranoid film director, played by old Norm of course, with a sharp little subplot about a bunch of male prostitutes. How's that for a takeoff on Belle de Jour? Beautiful. So there they were, Mailer and about 100 of his pals, out on Long Island shooting some scenes and pow!-Norm got into a fight with...
...Apalachin "crime convention," twelve of the 35 New York residents collared by police were "clean" under the provisions of the state's tough Sullivan law?they had pistol permits. Unless an amateur psychiatrist in a gun shop or a police station had recognized him as a paranoid schizophrenic, Charles Whitman, the Texas Tower sniper who killed or wounded 46 people two years ago, would have been able to assemble his lethal armory despite strict gun controls.

First they thought SDS claims that Harvard's tuition was being used to preserve class structure within the University were paranoid and irrational. Second, the media told them that SDS was sabotaging Eugene McCarthy (the liberal activist candidate) in Wisconsin. Third, they saw the SDS demonstration that cost Boston University $500,000 in "bad" money us a misdirected, simply sensational protest which was neither practical nor sincere. If SDS really cared about slumlords, they asked, why did they wait until...
...could you tell us a little about why we're in Vietnam?" I asked. Matter-of-factly, he told little rolypoly Sgt. Brown to take me to Lieut. Johnson. Brown told me he'd kick my teeth in if I kept agitating. He was very paranoid. I smiled condescendingly in the best Harvard tradition, secure in the knowledge that they can't touch you. Lieut. Johnson asked me what I was there for, and I told him--"Nothing." He promptly sent me off to rejoin my group in Test Room...
