hmm, finding that the speech wasn't real was definately strange.
i really thought it was him, too.
anyway, if anyone wants to read some *real* vonnegut grad. speeches, i
just finished a great scrapbook-y type book of his with speeches, essays,
random musings etc called _palm sunday_. it discusses his books some to,
and gives some good insight into them.
sorry for the lack of salinger content, although he (vonnegut) does
mention him in the book as "the most influential of my bunch."
pretty neat-o, n'est-ce pas?
