HJ: Oh, Ed Asner. He’s wonderful on Mary Tyler Moore. I spent a very interesting evening with him and Jacobo Timerman the night before last at Michael Douglas’s house—it was a fund-raiser for El Salvador. Timerman wrote a book critical of Israel’s invasion of Lebanon, and now he says he can’t stand it in Israel anymore. He said, “They were spitting at me in the streets.” I said, “If you’re gonna be a conscience, you’re gonna have to suffer some of this.”
