   I forgot to add this.  From the NEW YORK OBSERVER, December 23-30, 2002,
pg. 1, col. 2:

_Barris and Hitler:_

_The Gong Show of Fact:_
_Cusack Tells Adolf,_
_"You're Hard to Like"_
By RON ROSENBAUM
   Where is Mary McCarthy now that we need her?  Now that we seem to be
entering into a moment in culture in which truth and fiction are routinely
blurred to the point that an entirely new hybrid genre seems to have been
created: one that might be called "triction."  (...)
