Personal life
Comments by other writers
In a 1975 letter to Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner, the writer and journalist Hunter S. Thompson described Andelman as "...one of those people you'd automatically choose to be plunged into a vat of aboriginal clap-spoor, just to test the effects." Thompson's letter referred to an incident earlier in the year when Andelman had arrived in Vientiane, Laos on assignment to cover the end of the Laotian Civil War for The New York Times and wanted to take over a hotel suite that Thompson had been using. Thompson continued: "As I was emptying my money belt to leave the hotel, he was screeching heavily at the manager to make sure The Times got my room."[9]
