i sometimes wonder why CR bothers to interview anyone. He's always interrupting or speaking for them. His guests can't get a thought out before he starts to put what he thinks they're going to say into his own words. Charlie in this interview takes the moral highground of what is akin to flag waving instead of looking through the glass darkly, but face to face.

"If [Americans] do it, they'll win the war easily." Apparently not.

@naibastie ...you mean he expounds his ideas, not exposes. I think you are right and the interview would have been much better if the interviewer was able to say simply..."I don't know I haven't thought about that". Or better still, a different interviewer altogether, who actually had, and could've helped Mailer along. Mailer was slightly agitated and needed to not educate his interviewer on the hoof, so ot speak. Vietnam was fought largely by poor Americans who didn't bother to avoid the draft.

Fascism is easy. Freedom is hard. Never forget that sentiment.

Norman Mailer was trying to be a social critique in all his objectivity of a professional un-simple savant, but Charlie is always using the same technique in interviewing great men. I have a feeling that the only man with whom Charlie would agree fully would be Amis.

Well Charlie..I guess you realize now what an IDIOT you were.
How right was Norman, and how wrong was Charlie...
