American Gore-ing

Yesterday's Guardian carries an interview with octogenarian author Gore Vidal. If this isn't excessive understatement he is a bit cynical about the future of America. Key quote:

"The country is finished. It's all over. But you know, with a new republic like this, if you missed being here at the beginning, the next best thing is to be here at the end."
