Report on Mailer’s interview with Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes in which he discussed the possibility of Monroe being murdered, her relationship with Robert Kennedy and the reasons why the final chapter of 73.30 was incomplete. Rpt: A small portion of the interview appears in Minute by Minute…, by Don Hewitt, 69. New York: Random House, 1985. A longer excerpt is found in Close Encounters: Mike Wallace’s Own Story, by Mike Wallace and Gary Paul Gates, 366–367. New York: William Morrow, 1984. Neither book gives the full interview; both quote Mailer disadvantageously. See other 1973 entries, 75.3, 74.12, 77.7.
