“Why? Why? Why? Why—Are We in Vietnam?” Interview with Pierre Dommergues. LeMonde Literary Supplement, early April, 1. No copy of the publication is available, only a six-page transcript of the interview. Mailer speaks boldly of the crisis in America because of the Vietnam War: “There has been a tendency toward civil war in America for the last ten years. An underground has been forming for all of those ten years and it is enormous now in its potential.” He goes on to speak of how the corporation mind has “conquered the American spirit and established a totalitarianism of the middle, a mediocrity of vision. There has been an absence of interesting or exciting language in high places ever since [Franklin D.] Roosevelt died.”

“Enfant Terrible at Notre Dame.”
Article by Jack Altman. Chicago Sun-Times, 7 April, Sec. 4, 1, 10. At
Notre Dame University where his
film Beyond the Law premiered on 2
April, Mailer spoke about President
Johnson’s announcement that he
would run for another term. Mailer
also reflected on his motives for
making experimental films: “I never
think about what I want to do . . .
When you are doing something
you like, the last thing you should
do is ask yourself why. You do it
because your instinct tells you to.
Sometimes you work up a theory
afterwards.” See 68.6c, 68.6d, 68.7a.

Account of the Sophomore Literary Festival in which Hicks, Mailer, Vonnegut, Wright Morris, Joseph Heller, Ralph Ellison and William F. Buckley took part.

He liked Mailer’s reading from The Armies of the Night (68.8), and quotes his comment about President Johnson, who had just announced he would not run again: “Better to have a President who is large and evil than one who is small and ignoble.”

“Mailer at Ease.” Article-interview by Dick Schapp. New York, 6 May, 54. On the occasion of the party thrown by Harper’s to celebrate the publication of The Armies of the Night (68.8), Mailer tells Schapp that he had no intention to write about the March on the Pentagon, that he just stumbled into the event: “Afterwards, coming home from the march, I just had a sort of feeling that I should write about it.” He also says that he used his memory to recall various speeches, including that of the Rev. William Sloane Coffin, Jr. “Then,” he said, “I found out that Coffin had prepared a speech. I inserted his actual speech—my version had been fairly close—which was somewhat better, as a speech; my version suited the story better. I used the actual speech, with some reluctance.”

“A Writer’s Diary: Mailer Sees Mailer as Book Character for his ‘Armies.’’’ Article-interview by John Barkham. Philadelphia Sunday Bulletin, 11 May, front page of “Books.” Note: date is estimated, but since Barkham’s reviews appeared close to publication date, this date is not more than a week or two off, at most. Mailer begins by telling him: “I’m getting tired of the Mailer legend, which has me as a cross between Ernest Hemingway and a dinosaur. I’m not.” He goes on to say that he had a technical problem because there were no figures in the March on the Pentagon equivalent to those in his earlier political piece—JFK, Goldwater, or Rockefeller—so he tried various approaches, “none of which worked. Then I tried the third person, wrote a few pages quickly, read it over, and had a great revulsion.” A week later he looked at what he had written and “it looked more of less possible, so I kept going in this vein.”
