    Extractions: BY CHRIS HAINES G ore Vidal puts us at ease with history, probably because he has spent so much time at its elbow. Born at West Point and raised in Washington, D.C., the grandson of the legendary blind Sen. Thomas Gore and kin to Jimmy Carter, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis and the current vice president, Vidal has woven his sitting room perspective of American politics into novels like "Burr," "Lincoln," "1876" and "Empire." It is his familial view of great people and events that makes them feel real. Vidal's contributions to popular culture both as an early writer for television and as a Hollywood screenwriter expose human folly and frailty, in a more contemporary and occasionally picaresque mode. Compare, for instance, "Visit to a Small Planet" or "The Best Man" to "Suddenly, Last Summer" or "Myra Breckinridge." His forthcoming novel, "The Smithsonian Institution," returns to his favorite political and sexual themes.

    Extractions: page: The multifaceted [Eugene] Gore Vidal [Jr.] is a novelist, playwright, essayist, mystery writer (under the pseudonym Edgar Box), screenwriter, social critic, literary critic, congressional candidate, political activist, and actor. Entering the army during World War II while in his teens and rising to the rank of sergeant, Vidal has had no formal higher education. He is important for the gay literary heritage because of the straightforwardness with which he has pursued gay themes and included gay characters in his work, beginning in his teens when he wrote his first novel, Williwaw Sponsor Message. He has also steadily upped the ante about what sorts of gay material could be included in his mainstream works and as a result has made it easier for a wide range of other writers to find public acknowledgment of their material. Although the grandson of a United States Senator, Vidal feels uncomfortable in America because of his sexuality and has lived mostly in Italy since the mid-1960s, sharing his life with his companion Howard Austen.

    Extractions: Gore Vidal Friday March 22 1:50 PM EST U.S. author Gore Vidal in hospital in Italy SALERNO, Italy (Reuter) - American author and social critic Gore Vidal was rushed to hospital in the southern Italian town of Salerno Friday after suffering a hemmorrhage but was in a stable condition, doctors said. Vidal, 70, was taken to the San Giovanni hospital shortly after 6 a.m. following a rectal hemmorrhage. A hospital official said he would undergo tests Saturday and a decision would be made then on how long to keep him in hospital. Vidal, controversial author of such best-sellers as "Lincoln," "Myra Breckinridge" and "Burr" plus essays and screenplays, has a villa on the Italian coast. REUTER The American writer Gore Vidal , b. West Point, N.Y., Oct. 3, 1925, achieved success with his first novel, Williwaw (1946), inspired by his wartime service in the Aleutians. The City and the Pillar (1948), an account of homosexual life in the United States, and The Judgment of Paris (1952), a modernization of the ancient myth, won the respect of critics.

    Extractions: Born in 1925 as Eugene Luther Gore Vidal, Jr., he was raised within D.C.'s political class, attending St. Alban's prep school, Los Alamos Ranch School, and Philips Exeter Academy with many of America's future political and business leaders. He is the grandson of Oklahoma's first Senator (T. P. Gore), son of a West Pointer who served in FDR's administration, stepbrother of Jackie Kennedy Onassis, and friend to President John F. Kennedy, as well as to many writers, such as Tennessee Williams, and actors, such as Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. Vidal served in WWII as a Warrant Officer onboard a vessel in the Aleutians. In 1960 he ran for Congress from New York. Vidal lost the election but made a tremendously strong showing running as a Democrat in overwhelmingly Republican Dutchess County. While campaigning he earned the friendship of Eleanor Roosevelt, one of his enthusiastic supporters. His decision not to run again in 1962a mid-term election year in which Democrats were swept into office in large numbershas given rise to one of American political history's more interesting "what if's."

    Extractions: But it's as a novelist and critic that Vidal actually made his mark. After graduating high school in 1943, Vidal enlisted in the army. He never saw battle and, out of boredom, began writing his first novel. Based on firsthand experiences aboard an army freighter, Williwaw (1946) was published along with a host of other postwar war novels and received high marks. Although The City and the Pillar (1948) is now considered a classic of gay literature, its frank discussion of an affair between two young men and its daring suggestion that homosexual relationships were natural made reviewers' tongues wag. Vidal dedicated the novel to "J.T." and loosely based one of the characters on his first male lover, Jimmie Trimble. Despite the controversial subject matter, the novel rushed onto the bestseller lists.

The Progressive is carrying an interview with Gore Vidal in this month's issue. It's really hard to capture the "unhingedness" of Vidal without reading the entire interivew. He call Bush "a thug", compares the President and the Vice President to monkeys causing trouble, rants about stolen elections, and on and on. Here is one question and answer worth quoting in full: Q: You're a veteran of World War II, the so-called good war. Would you recommend to a young person a career in the armed forces in the United States? Vidal: No, but I would suggest Canada or New Zealand as a possible place to go until we are rid of our warmongers. We've never had a government like this. The United States has done wicked things in the past to other countries but never on such a scale and never in such an existentialist way. It's as though we are evil. We strike first. We'll destroy you. This is an eternal war against terrorism. It's like a war against dandruff. There's no such thing as a war against terrorism. It's idiotic. These are slogans. These are lies. It's advertising, which is the only art form we ever invented and developed.

Buckley Jr. a "crypto-Nazi," has never been shy about expressing his feelings, and he was true to form when he talked to Kasia Anderson online at Truthdig. "They've torn everything up," Vidal said. "They went merrily around ripping wires out of the ground and pulling them out of the walls, without being invited in. "None of the people they sent over to examine it knew how it worked. The inspectors came, and they didn't know one wire from the other." What's more, said Vidal, "They tore out my elevator, which gets me up from the downstairs part. I'm a gimp."

    Extractions: Web Hosting by Netfirms Free Domain Names by Netfirms ... The Observer, Sunday 27 th October 2002, Review Section, Pages 1-4 The Enemy Within Gore Vidal is America’s most controversial writer and a ferocious, often isolated, critic of the Bush administration. Here, against a backdrop of spreading unease about America’s response to the events of 11 September 2001 and their aftermath, we publish Vidal’s remarkable personal polemic urging a shocking new interpretation of who was to blame. On 24 August, 1814, things looked very dark for freedom's land. That was the day the British captured Washington DC and set fire to the Capitol and the White House. President Madison took refuge in the nearby Virginia woods where he waited patiently for the notoriously short attention span of the Brits to kick in, which it did. They moved on and what might have been a Day of Utter Darkness turned out to be something of a bonanza for the DC building trades and up-market realtors. One year after 9/11, we still don't know by whom we were struck that infamous Tuesday, or for what true purpose. But it is fairly plain to many civil-libertarians that 9/11 put paid not only to much of our fragile Bill of Rights but also to our once-envied system of government which had taken a mortal blow the previous year when the Supreme Court did a little dance in 5/4 time and replaced a popularly elected president with the oil and gas Cheney/Bush junta.
