Norman Mailer was smart.He realized when he wrote, "The Naked and The Dead",that he could have been arrested and his book banned for using the word "fuck." We did't even see Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer in the states until 1963. Mailer wanted a novel that sounded the way soldiers really talked,but compromised on one word. He had the last laugh because his book couldn't be banned for "obsenity" but he got the point across. And then there was Tuli Kupferburg who started the band,The Fugs
