There is a long feature on Mickey Spillane in the Wednesday,
August 22nd edition of the Washington Post entitled "Man of
Mysteries." The content is better than the title as the
freelance writer John Meroney spent time with Spillane in
Murrells Inlet, S.C. as well as significant research. I knew
that Ayn Rand was a Spillane fan but did not know they met
and became friends. Using quotes from her letters, Meroney
makes a case that she had the hots for Spillane and the
quotes do sound like a giddy teenager. He says they were
"just good friends."
