Gore Vidal is one of my favorite reads. There’s a few letters to the editor he sent in to the Times that make me cry I laugh so hard.

You might have seen this anecdote floating around recently. In the Sistine Chapel, Gore Vidal once came upon Henry Kissinger “gazing thoughtfully” at the Hell section of Michelangelo’s Last Judgment. “Look,” said Vidal to a friend, “he’s apartment hunting.”
