Perhaps the most Vidalian assertion that one can cite is a statement Gore Vidal made in a 1972 magazine interview. "There is not one human problem that could not be solved," said Vidal, "if people would simply do as I advise." He has advised us about politics, history, culture and the importance of separating the public from the private, leaving to Caesar what is Caesar's and to freedom what is rightfully ours. Quote from University of Pittsburgh.
