Moments later, Actor Rip Torn, who has played a bodyguard called Raoul Key O'Houlihan, goes after Mailer (or Kingsley) with a hammer. "You're supposed to die, Mr. Kingsley," Torn yells.

The son of a conservative Florida lawyer, the new editor never went to college but got his higher education as a reading-room attendant in the Library of Congress.
