Norman Mailer was fun--
and wrote some of the most relevant, important, and fascinating non-fiction about politics during the 1960s--early, mid-, and late, and on into the 1970s.
Was he an "ass," and the like, as some insist? Only to the humorless who failed to see his enormous humor (and insecurity) and tendency to spoof and play with the overly serious.
He'll be missed as a pot-stirrer of the most fascinating kind; and as a political commentator with original insights to offer.
As for the religio/cottage industry notion that JFK was killed by a conspiracy: where, after all these years, is the "evidence" for that which can withstand analysis for intellectual honesty and logic?
