    Johnny Carson had a great interest in intellectuals like Gore Vidal and in addition to having them on his show would always have dinner together when they were in town....

      Yeah, that certainly sounds like him. He loved Carl Sagan I think too. He admired men of such great ability and mind to push humanity forward.

    Vidal was on this Carson show a few times during the Reagan years...and they were all vintage Vidal. Wish someone would put all of them on.

      Agree. Same with Hoffa and WFB jr, they were on numerous times and yet scarce to find.

    It's really too bad the book wasn't discussed more. Along with Lincoln, Creation is Gore's masterpiece among his novels.

    Gore Vidal .. the prophet...
    The heart of the subject should be made onto a TikTok video and shared everywhere.

    Does anyone know how in tune Gore was with then-public opinion? The insights seem ahead of their time.

      Gore was seen by many as a modern - day Cassandra, far more so with the passage of time.
