Squib in the “People” section of

speaking at a rowdy University
of California at Berkley event at

jockstrap on the stage, as saying,

man’s soul.” He is also reported
to have said that “[Democratic
presidential candidate George]
McGovern is the only man superior
to me,” which Mailer complained
about in a letter to Time as being

Katherine Anne Porter, covering the event for Playboy, was in the audience. Mailer criticized N.A.S.A. for having "taken the most exciting event of the 20th century [Apollo 11, the moon shot] and succeeded in making it monumentally boring and profoundly depressing."

“He’s Still Trying to Aggravate Mamma.” Article-interview by Janet Chusmir. Miami Herald, 13 February, 14G. Brief report on ’s speech at Temple Israel. Mailer says he was making 20 speeches in 20 days because he had to “make a great deal of money in a hurry, because I’m broke.” Speaking while wearing jeans, he said it would upset his mother, who is “very religious” and is about to celebrate 50 years of marriage to Barney. That should be a perfect day, he said, but calling it such “is asking for it,” i.e., tempting the evil eye. Mailer says that wearing jeans in temple offsets “the perfect day.”

“Norman Mailer Visits Gaston Hall.” Article-interview by Emily Durso. Georgetown Voice, 15 February, 12-13. At Georgetown University on 11 February, spoke to an American literature class and then debated Barbette Blackington, a professor of sociology at American University. The title of the debate (which Mailer did not care for), was “Can Norman Mailer Find Happiness During Male Menopause?” He said that if he had tried “to hold a debate on the menopause of Barbette Blackington, her praetorian guard would have run him out of the auditorium.” Mailer listened to Blackington’s comments on male menopause, and replied that if people got the idea that he was a chauvinist pig from Kate Millett’s attack on him in her study Sexual Politics (1970), then they didn’t know how to read. He stated that Millett had extensively quoted him out of context and wondered how she got a doctorate from Columbia for a dissertation that was inaccurate. Further, he said that he found the Women’s Liberation Movement both exciting and frightening: “The one thing I can’t stand is that we must always have respect for women in all circumstances. What kind of totalitarian hogwash is that?”

Besides Mailer, the other panelists were Arthur C. Clarke, James Dickey and Rear Admiral Alan B.

Statendam as a participant in a symposium on space and humanity’s future, and to observe the launch of Apollo 17, Mailer made extended remarks which were edited into a 1,000 word statement centering on the possibility that moon and space colonies might address “the fundamental impasse of 20th-century man and woman…they cannot find communities which express their philosophical ideas, their social ideas, and their private ideas.” The comments of Katherine Anne Porter, who also made the voyage, are juxtaposed to Mailer’s on the same page.

Crowther summarizes the media’s initial conclusions about the event and then polls a number of the same reporters and some of the other guests about their estimates of Mailer’s ideas about governmental conspiracy in light of recent Watergate revelations. Most argue that Mailer was prophetic. Crowther also quotes from a then-unpublished interview with Mailer (74.3) and from a 30 June conversation with him in which Mailer characterizes his 5 February speech: “I knew the height of the hurdle, and I missed.
