re: Norman Mailer - he had it all
Funny, they only obliquely mention his paen to Apollo, "A Fire on the Moon". Mailer may have distrusted technology, but he was a graduate engineer. He hated war, but he was a combat veteran, and he was a man of peace, but also a brawler and a boxer. I read "The Naked and the Dead", "A Fire on the Moon", and "Ancient Evenings", three totally different books.
