... I have a first edition autographed copy of Norman Mailer's book Harlot's Ghost somewhere around here. In storage of course, not at my fingertips. It's a huge tome, and I've never read it because it is so large. Keeping for kids in case any of them are interested in the goings-on of the CIA culture. Thanks for this story by Jefferson Morley from the Intercept.
