Norman Mailer - We are in love with the word
From the extraordinary Internet Archive, a 1986 two-part, hour long interview with Norman Mailer on the U.S. television series The Open Mind.
Part I
Part II
About the series:
"First Broadcast in May, 1956, The Open Mind is still produced weekly by Richard D. Heffner, host, historian, and University Professor of Communications and Public Policy at Rutgers University. These dialogues with some of the most creative thinkers of the last half-century are a primary resource available to students, teachers, researchers, archivists, librarians, historians, journalists and all who are interested in history, biography, media, communications, news, and public affairs."
A quick perusal of the list of 454 shows online revealed a remarkable range of interviews from William F. Buckley on legalizing drugs, Gloria Steinem on Marilyn Monroe, Stanley Crouch on education to Lou Reed on 'rock 'n roll heart.'
