New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1976. Hardcover. 158p., first edition clothbacked boards in unclipped dust jacket. A very good copy, quite sound and perfectly clean and unmarked. Awful dust jacket photo (cowboy silhouette indicating a typical heartland citizen we must suppose) and no catchy subtitle. Sometimes a bad jacket will kill a book and here, I think, is an instance of its deadliness. At any rate : This guy knew and possibly still knows everybody, and people needed to get to know him. He wrote [patter? unclear] for JFK that Bobbie asks about; there is substantial Kennedy-family stuff here, it's all epigrams and goes by quick, but it's there --and conspiracy constructions on both assassinations are front and center. Sahl spent time with Jim Garrison and Garrison is one of the few celebs here whom Sahl does not insult in the course of defining who they are. His takes on Abbie Hoffman, Stokeley Carmichael and Daniel Ellsberg are useful even in retrospect. He notes, refreshingly, how yippies dropped the ball on the assassination and related matters that could have engaged THE HEARTLAND along with the thirty-seven other yippies. How Angela Davis, when she wanted to protest injustice & hypocrisy, joined the communist party, made up (per Sahl) of 850 senile Jewish men from NYC, and a thousand FBI agents. Then, he says, still attacking Davis, she goes where the action is --Bulgaria. Sahl has dinner with Nixon and grabs the check. He got Hollywood taped. He's worth getting to know even if you disagree with him and love the people he pops.

Mort Sahl is the pioneer and still the champion of stand-up contemporary satire. As Woody Allen attests, he is the forerunner of today's comedians. This book evokes reflection and laughter. In Mort Sahl's humor and in his anger, America becomes his loving and righteous obsession. He makes us aware that politics is a sometimes serious, sometimes silly, and always dangerous game. Sahl was the first entertainer to argue the illegality of actions by the CIA and FBI, the first to question the official accounts of the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. He paid dearly for his belief, yet he never lost his audience or his respect for it. Sahl's humor is part of America's growing up. Laughter convinces that Mort Sahl is one of the most talented writers of comedy alive. And he's alive! This is the funny and touching story of his leaving, and looking for home. Hardcover, Ausgabe: 1st, Label: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1976, Studio: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Verkaufsrang: 561452.
