...second or so, but then allowed that, yes, he had given serious thought to homicide "on at least four or five occasions." Prime object of his lethal impulse was British Critic Kenneth Tynan, whom Capote thought "despicable in every conceivable way," a judgment no doubt derived from a verbal bout over the merits of In Cold Blood. Pressed farther by the fascinated Frost, Capote explained, "Most people commit suicide because they can't kill the people who are tormenting them. Instead of bumping them off, they bump themselves off. Well, I'm not like that...
...read his latest book. His four writers have been working on Cavett's standard six-minute opening comedy monologue; in midafternoon, Cavett edits their material and types notes for cue cards. These monologues are frequently less than successful, since the best of Cavett's humor is sparked by verbal confrontation with his guests. Taping before an audience begins at 6 o'clock, but the show does not go on the air until 11:30 p.m. Eastern and Pacific time (10:30 Central).

They are nothing more than brazen pseudo-leftists who instead of being here in the trenches live in the bourgeois salons 10,000 miles from the problems. They are going...
...TRASH is hilarious because Holly Woodlawn is a camic genius, a kind of funky Will Rogers in drag. She and Jane Forth are sorely missed in Flesh. and the verbal gags that remain to embroider the acres of skin rarely reach the preposterous level of charm that Flesh's successor maintains. Trash can have a streetchick drawl, "You got any LSD? You know, Lucy in the Sky, with Diamonds?" The boffs in Flesh, though, are much more sincere, and when the Warhol/ Morrissey Factory is sincere, it's pathetic. For instance, Joe says at one point with heart-rending earnestness...
