...Wasp group that Norman Mailer [Feb. 8] has attacked with such venom, may I say that I resent being lumped into a segment of society that is so widely diversified that it links the richest with the poorest and the sometimes not-so-saintly with the so-called very angelic crowd...
...this final segment that form and content become indistinguishable in Follies. It is then that it becomes clear that this musical play is not only about the failures of its characters and the death of a popular art form, but about the close relationship between the two.

Mailer finally admits that "he would agree with everything they asked but to quit the womb...
...masterminded all the "exercises," has caught this feeling completely. There is no sense of a flow of time. but rather of wandering about within it. In the small segment of film (by Alfred Guzzetti), each image is followed by its after-image in optical illusion. The framed faces cannot be left behind. The slow turns of the head are repeated. The film mesmerizes the viewers, stops them in time...
