DARRELL BOB HOUSTON, author of the catching-on novel, "King of The Midnight Blues," caught a lot of flak after last week's appearance on Ch. 5's "Tonight, Tonite". show. The novel, based loosely on the exploits of D.B. Cooper, the parachuting skyjacker, aroused much ire -- particularly from author- pilot Ernie Gann, who labeled Houston an "op- portunist" for glorifying D.B. Responds Hous- ton: "If I wanted to be opportunistic, I could have written that book years ago. As it is, the public--not me--made Cooper a sort of folk hero. I defy Gann or anyone else to say who America's folk hereos are--and they aren't all good guys. How about Jesse James?" . . .
