I'm not sure specifically who 'Ali McNamara' is within the context of 'Fantastic Fiction' without more information. There could be many authors or characters with that name in the world of fantastic fiction.
Probably not. McNamara had his own interests and the interests of the establishment he represented to protect. In the context of the events he was associated with, there were hidden agendas, classified information, and political considerations. These factors could have led him to withhold parts of the story. For example, the real impact of certain military decisions on the civilian population in Vietnam might have been downplayed or not fully disclosed.
Since I'm not familiar with Ali McNamara's contributions to Fantastic Fiction, it could be that their works are either not widely known or are part of a more specialized area within the genre. Maybe they write a particular type of fantasy, like urban fantasy or high - fantasy, but without more research, it's hard to say.
No. The Pentagon Papers themselves were a revelation of some of the secrets that had been hidden. McNamara was part of the establishment that had been keeping certain information from the public. So, it's likely that there were still elements of the story that were not fully told even in what was released in the Pentagon Papers.
One common theme is friendship - turned - romance. In the Heathers universe, Duke and McNamara start as friends in the clique. Fanfics often explore how that relationship can shift into something more romantic over time. Another theme is redemption. Since the Heathers' actions in the movie are often cruel, fanfics might show Duke and McNamara redeeming themselves through their relationship with each other.
I'm not sure of specific 'Heathers Duke x McNamara fanfic' titles off the top of my head, but you could also check fanfiction.net. Sometimes the fanfic communities on Tumblr might also have some hidden gems. Look for posts where people share their favorite fics or do fic recs. Just be aware that the quality can vary greatly, so it might take some sifting through to find a really good one.
In the 'Ricky 18 and life story', Ricky could be facing a lot of self - discovery at 18. This is a time when many young people are trying to figure out who they are, what they want to do in life. He might be in the middle of a relationship that is teaching him about love and commitment. Or perhaps he has a passion for a particular art form or sport, and his story revolves around his pursuit of that passion and the obstacles he has overcome to pursue it.
