cordjefferson: In 1971, in the green room before The Dick Cavett Show, Mailer butted Gore Vidal in the face, having taken exception to the novelist’s review of one of his books. Seven years later, at a party, he threw a glass at him and, by some accounts, including Vidal’s (“I saw this tiny fist coming at me”), punched him. Still on the floor, Vidal announced: “Words fail Norman Mailer. Yet again.” Paz.
