Before you send us on the road Camille, I'm not saying that Hapworth is a
mind dump and that's that...just that what Salinger in l965 wanted to
publish as he wrote it has a force of its own...In addtion to other
aesthetic qualities...I actually like the writers named in the story (for
the most part) and especially think Salinger is getting closer to a poetic
and spritual aesthetic sense in the story....plus, I enjoyed the story as
an inversion of how we value knowledge and educating young folks but don't
have a good sense of play in perspective...anyhow, I'll obviously handle
the tap dancing...will
