Courage in Profiles: Attacked by Critics for His Hubris, Norman Mailer Nonetheless Tackles the Tough Topics.” Article-interview by Paul Galloway. Chicago Tribune, 12 May, Sec. 5 (“Tempo”), pp. 1, 5. In Chicago to promote 97.13, Mailer talks to Galloway and appears on WGN radio’s “Extension 720” with interviewer Milt Rosenberg. Again he discusses the first person point of view used in 97.13, and his admiration for the Jesus story, which he calls “the keel of western civilization.”
