	Tabloid Television
		Tabloid television's explosion was abetted by a number of significant changes in American broadcasting that occurred during the 1980s.
		This is not to say that tabloid talk shows have a political agenda of anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-classism, or anti-homophobia, but rather that in opening themselves to the participation of a very broad range of voices, they necessarily encourage potentially progressive conflicts over cultural, racial and sexual politics.
		But tabloid talk shows are marked by a level of indiscipline that often disrupts the enforcement of norms and allows people who are disadvantaged by those norms to talk back against them.

	In These Times 25/12 -- Everybody's In On It
		James Ellroy's 1995 novel, American Tabloid, was a typically tangly tale of madmen
		In Tabloid, Ellroy was cutting himself loose from the strictures of the crime novel that he had upended and rewired with his L.A. Quartet series.
		American Tabloid, a gargantuan story with a finely woven set of thin, sharp storylines, kept the prose impossibly lean even as the plot swelled.

		Fox News, CBS, NBC and ABC all broadcast footage of the bound and frightened American seated on the floor surrounded by five masked men, but they stopped the tape at the point the knife was drawn.
		But while they refused to air the video, news editors were insistent that the American public be told of the true nature of what did happen next - and be made to understand that this was no swift death.

	Summary of The Cold Six Thousand : A Novel
		Reader Summary - The Cold Six Thousand, the sequel to American Tabloid, is the second book in a triology that tells the FICTITIOUS story of how a group of rogue ex-FBI-agents and ex-cops shape and manipulate American history.
		In American Tabloid, the violence made sense; Ellroy used it to paint a realistic portrait of a violent era.
		I believe that a novelist talks to his readers; in American Tabloid Ellroy seemed to say "I don't like this epidemic of violence, either, but it is my duty as a chronicler to report it".

	The CHUD.COM Message Boards - American Tabloid
		Its not entirely plausible historical revionism but its still enthralling, I re-read Tabloid after going through the LA Quartet and you can see how is writing progressed and where he was going with it.
		Its explained in the Cold 6K - the mob sent Littell to off Boyd for the JFK hit, Kemper tried to warn the agency with his phone calls and his seeming lack of interest in the days leading up to the event.
		American Tabloid is an absolutely brutal book and one of my favorites.

		Six years after his part-fact-part-fiction political epic American Tabloid bravely and brutally demythologized the Kennedy era, embracing "bad men and the price they paid to secretly define their time," the author has returned with the second installment of a planned trilogy, The Cold Six Thousand.
		In American Tabloid the main character, Kemper Boyd, was ambitious and driven, while in The Cold Six Thousand Wayne Tedrow is much more of a passive passenger to history.
		Latin American imperialism in the Nixon administration will be a theme, because the mob is getting ready to plant their casinos down there.

		JE: I sensed as a youth in the American 1960s (and I was just about 12 when the period began and just about 22 when it ended) the human infrastructure of great public events.
		To ascribe, as I say in the prologue of 'American Tabloid', our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances is fatuous, and wholly wrong.
		As I say in the prologue of 'American Tabloid', had any one moment of their lives deviated off course, American history would not exist as we know it.

	FLUXEUROPA: JAMES ELLROY'S AMERICAN TABLOID
		James Ellroy's American Tabloid (Random House 1995) is a brilliant 'docudrama' set in the Kennedy era in which the historical icons of the times are woven into the seedy noir world of desperadoes on the make.
		The novel follows the careers of three 'operatives', all with a background in law enforcement which seems to have been their training ground for criminal activity.
		Inter alia, American Tabloid is a study in motivation.

	hackwriters.com - American Tabloid by James Ellroy Review by Michael Halmshaw
		Ellroy’s Hoover is a man firmly in control of every situation that arises, with a series of contingency plans for any negative outcome; and any man that can hold directorship over the FBI for 48 years is indeed likely to be incredibly intelligent and cunning.
		Primarily, American Tabloid describes the actions of the three fictional protagonists, but a wide host of real people are included, such as the Mafia bosses of Chicago, Florida and Louisiana of the time: Sam Giancana, Santo Trafficante, and Carlos Marcello, respectively.
		Arguably, American Tabloid should have been written this way, since it details the build up to the world-shaking events of the 22nd of November, 1963 – the seed for a thousand conspiracy theories – which for the novel, and John Fitzgerald Kennedy, ends in confusion and gunshots.

	Books \| James Ellroy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The frightening thing about talking to James Ellroy, the self-described “demon dog of American crime fiction,” is that in conversation his chilling, precise command of the language does not linger out of reach; it is at his beck and call, and he deploys it even more sharply off the cuff than in his novels.
		For, oh, about the seventh book running, he’s proclaiming The Cold Six Thousand — the follow-up to 1995’s American Tabloid, which was Time’s book of the year — to be his finest, and he might even be right.
		Then Ellroy read Don Delillo’s Libra, decided he could do better, and wrote American Tabloid, which tied together the Bay of Pigs, Herbert Hoover, the FBI, Howard Hughes, the CIA, the Mob, and the assassination of JFK into a compulsive narrative of shocking complicity.

		This is because two of the central protagonists are carried over from the first book, and their actions, motivations and fates will not only make more sense, but carry greater weight.
		Instead, according to Ellroy, history is more like a tabloid magazine populated by fiendishly corrupt men who abuse their power as a means of indulging their darkest obsessions.
		And therein lies his service to American history: More important than the plausibility of his conspiracy theories, or the accuracy of his history, is the fact that he's willing to bend over and peer at the nation’s underbelly -- which generally offers a more fascinating view.

	Texas Monthly June 2001: The Assassination in Me
		The Assassination in Me My best-selling novel, American Tabloid, was all about the murder of John F. Kennedy.
		"America was never innocent" are the first words of American Tabloid, James Ellroy's best-selling 1995 novel about the John F. Kennedy assassination, in which he took various elements of conspiracy-theory lore, added his own fictional designs, and wove them all into a long, twisted narrative involving mobsters, Cuban exiles, rogue CIA agents, and freelance G-men.
		It is a brilliant fictional speculation on who killed Jack the K, and it also posits implicitly the heretical notion that Jack got what he deserved by the rules he lived by.
