Summary: No matter what party is in the White House, no matter who makes the nation's laws, Norman Mailer stands out as America's No. 1 political resource. Provoking, visceral, visionary, Mailer repeatedly uncovers in American politics the stuff of the novelist. Yet few novels carry the dramatic force and vivid atmos pheric detail of Mailer's reporting of our national conventions-masterpieces of reportage that read as graphically as fic tion and at the same time mirror truth more stunningly than any newspaper account. Some Honorable Men gathers together in one volume Mailer's writings on the presidential campaigns of '60, '64, '68, and '72: "Superman Comes to the Super market" from The Presidential Papers "In This Red Light" from Cannibals and Christians Miami and the Siege of Chicago St. George and the Godfather
