...couch. As for the story, and mercifully there is one, DJ. loves-hates his rich father, a victim of all alleged Texas hang-ups, notably insecure masculinity. Mailer plunks father, son and a couple of unholy Texas ghosts in Alaska's Brooks Mountain Range on a safari in search of manhood. Naturally, they cheat: in orgiastically killing a wolf, numerous caribou and three grizzlies, the hunters unsportingly use a helicopter instead of their feet. Though he hardly clarifies his intention, Mailer apparently figures that he has thus allegorized Vietnam as a case of Texas-style Americans neurotically in love...
...Newport Socialite Howard G. Gushing; and Peter Hill Beard, 29, a photographer-writer specializing in African conservation (The End of the Game) and great-grandson of Railroad Baron James J.

For thrill seekers, there is the Gyrotron, a $3,000,000 contraption that allows tourists to strap themselves into miniature rail cars and then be hurtled through a maze of environments that begins with a terrifyingly realistic "orbit" among the stars, careens on through the hellish jaws of a live...
...East African Safari starts in Nairobi, Kenya, and winds up, 3,100 miles later, precisely where it started-if anyone gets back. Last week's Safari was barely under way when a Volkswagen driven by the Kenyan team of Tommy Fjastad and Bev Smith shot over a precipice, plunged 100 ft. and burst into flames. Somehow, both Fjastad and Smith escaped unhurt. Other drivers found the road blocked by elephants, giraffes, antelopes-and a whole pride of lions, which refused to budge despite blaring horns...
