Few could give a toast or tell a story with equal humor "I had my hands around his neck," he recalled in a 2002 interview with The Associated Press, referring to gunman Sirhan Sirhan, whom he helped wrestle to the ground In a culture where millions fantasized about being movie stars or sports heroes, the lanky, wavy-haired Plimpton dared to enter the arena himself, with results both comic and instructive "We had a good time last weekend He acted in numerous movies, including "Reds" and "Good Will Hunting Plimpton also enjoyed a lifetime of making literature out of nonliterary pursuits "It verified the assumption that the average fan would have about an amateur blundering into the brutal world of professional football," he wrote " He could also take credit for at least one memorable fictional character: Sidd Finch, a baseball pitcher of unprecedented gifts (168 mph fastball) and unlikely background (reared in the mountains of Tibet) He was a volunteer with Robert Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign and was walking in front of him as the candidate was assassinated in the kitchen of a Los Angeles hotel "I have a lot of life left to go, but now is the time to think about it and put something together," Plimpton told The Associated Press at the time I told him how he was a light in my life," said former Lions star Roger Brown The Paris Review remained more respected than read " Starting in the 1950s, when he began his vocation as a "participatory" journalist, he practiced the singular art of narrating panic " He sailed with John F 14 in New York, with Mailer and Kurt Vonnegut among the guests He witnessed a baffling encounter between Richard Nixon and Casey Stengel, when the president wanted to talk baseball and the former baseball manager wanted to discuss banking At one point in 2001, Plimpton reported, funds dropped to $1 Plimpton's other books included "Bogey Man" and "Out of My League He had deep connections to the political world, dating back to childhood, when Adlai Stevenson â€â€? the two-time presidential nominee â€â€? was a family friend and Jacqueline Kennedy a debutante he would see at dances " Over the summer, Plimpton decided to write his memoirs, signing a $750,000 deal with Little, Brown and Co I always felt the greatest debt of gratitude," said Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jeffrey Eugenides, who recalled that The Paris Review ran excerpts of his first book, "The Virgin Suicides The magazine's high reputation rested on two traditions: publishing the work of emerging authors, including Philip Roth and Jack Kerouac, and an unparalleled series of interviews in which Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner and others discussed their craft He boxed with Archie Moore, pitched to Willie Mays and performed as a trapeze artist for the Clyde Beatty-Cole Brothers Circus He had four children Much of his career served as a send-up of Hemingway's famous credo, "Grace under pressure A 50th anniversary celebration had been scheduled for Oct Plimpton died Thursday night at his New York apartment, his longtime friend restaurateur Elaine Kaufman said Friday â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?
