1968 Writers and Editors War Tax Protest

[jd]

I tend to just say hi how's it going... because I figure they'd had
enough gushing... kind of shake their hand and get out.

John Banville gave a talk recently though and I was getting my
notebook signed, the person didn't hand me a name slip because I
didn't care if it was personalized... and he was like "who the hell is
this for?"... "Oh... don't worry about it, it's OK" and that guy shot
me the dirtiest look I've recieved in a long, long time.  Scibbled his
name real quick, handed me the notebook back, just glaring at me.
