Sorry to hear of his passing. When I was a teenager in the 1970's, he was a guest on a San Francisco radio talk show. I called in and asked if it were true that permanent wave solution had the same components of hair straightener (very prone to damage and hair breakage, not to mention bleaching from the peroxide). I having curly hair DID NOT want curly hair in the long and straight '70's. Vidal said oh curled hair was "exciting and fun." Perhaps, but not for a 17 year old looking for his first date! Once he was done with the call he commented "Damn good question. Never been asked that before!"
