Having been forced to read some of his turgid nonsense in high school, I can only say I really couldn’t care much less.

Wasn’t he a Timothy McVee supporter? Before Mc Vee was killed?

He was a crusty old feller. He provided great commentary about the Ali-Foreman fight in “ When we were kings.” I remember seeing black & white footage of him from the 60s when he tried running for mayor of New York: he was drunk, and had a cup of something in his hand, and whatever he said, it was quite entertaining.
I guess Charlie Rose will rerun some of his final interviews they did together, this coming week.

Seems I recall something like that, big anti-death penalty guy. Ironically he sentenced a waiter to death when he and his leftist cronies successfully got Jack Abbot paroled after which he promptly stabbed the poor guy to death.

What I’d do on his grave wouldn’t pass for flowers.
To: ontap
Yup. I’ve always felt he was just as guilty as abbott. I read that trash ‘In the Belly of the Beast’ that mailer thought was so great. Couldn’t get through it. Pure $hit.
To: ontap
I remember that guy, the one he got out. Wonder if he is lunching with Gary Gilmore.

Of course, any hint of holding criminals responsible for their actions is barbarism according to these lefties.

If he were only just a liberal. He was so far to the left, he almost went around the spectrum to the other side.

He has blood on his hands for getting that thug, Henry Abbot, out of prison.

The Naked and the Dead, based on his experiences in the Pacific during the War, was compelling. After that he became something of a celebrity hack.
