The last link is from the Paris Review, not Paris Match. I get where the error comes from, but I chuckled.

Excellent: “The Republican Party as now constituted is obviously too stupid to survive…. What is to be done? Of course, that was Lenin’s line and the only lucid one he ever wrote. The answer is nothing. America’s position is unassailable. We are the imperial Rome of the 3rd Millennium. Our government is a CSX train on a track. People on one side (the left) yell at it, and people on the other side (the right) yell at it, but the train’s only going to go down the track. Thank God for that. That’s why I find American politics too boring to write about. Nixon is forced from office. Does a military junta rise up? Do the tanks roll? Give me a break.” [February 28, 2000.] ^from the Vanity Fair article

Thanks for these links. How did you get a free version of the Paris Review İnterview? A couple of days ago I tried to read some interviews and it won't let me without a subscription.
