Kenneth Tynan
English theatre critic and producer, the leading drama reviewer of his generation (the Observer; later literary manager of Britain's National Theatre). In January 1960 he produced the British television program — reported in "'Angry Americans' Air Dissent on British TV" (60.2) — that featured Mailer among an array of American "dissenters."
Tynan’s January 1960 program assembled C. Wright Mills, John Kenneth Galbraith, Robert Hutchins, Mailer, Mort Sahl, Jules Feiffer, Allen Ginsberg, Alger Hiss, Alexander King, and Norman Thomas to take stock of American life; Mailer used the platform to deride the “boring, cancerous state of American life”.
