I've been reading the current discussion of the "new" Journalism, the 
new thoughts on Hitler as a perfomance artist, and the new literary 
criticism method of selling twenty-five year old rumors, plus the wishfull 
thinking of finding references to oneself in great works of literature 
(of course when Norman Mailer writes about Jesus he is really writing 
about me

Anyway, I make the following prediction: If by some sad turn of events 
trp were to pass away before his more infamous roommate, you can bet 
that there will be a lot of new "revelations" which couldn't be told 
"until now" - Because, after all, a writer who craves privacy is one thing, 
but a writer who can't deny the stories is a gold mine
