Vidal v. Mailer
Until coming across this recent Dick Cavett blog post, I had forgotten about the time that Gore Vidal and Norman Mailer showed up as guests on Cavett's old television show one evening in 1971. For a good laugh to start the New Year, check out Cavett's memories of the bizarre episode.
Happy New Year and here's hoping you have a great '08!

Why don't you provide some feedback, or feedforward, on the Rosenthal mess? I figure you are bound to know more about it than the Chronicle.
I have a pretty good idea of at least one answer to that question, already. Just felt like it needed to be asked.

JD, I haven't written anything about the Rosenthal affair because it seems so clear that he should be preparing for life after the DA's office. He is not a strong candidate in the first place and the email affair will provide some voters with a reason to vote against him rather than simply be apathetic about the race. Regardless of what one thinks about publication of private emails, the content of the emails -- not to speak of the favoritism shown to a former mistress -- reflect poor judgment, which is not a characteristic that you want to see in a district attorney. It's time for Rosenthal to move on.
