******************************************************* As
you know perfectly well, Kevin, vitriolic attacks on eminent
authors with no bearing on any of their actual writing does
not constitute an "opinion." It is in fact the contents of
the books I'd be more interested to hear you critique. By all
means, tell us all the short comings of AMERICAN TABLOID,
WHITE JAZZ, THE BIG NOWHERE, THE COLD SIX THOUSAND, etc. I'll
be fascinated to hear how you'd improve them.
