>maybe holden just had nice hair? No--according to the text, Holden did NOT have nice hair... In several passages he mentions that he has many gray hairs, and only on one side of his head. Besides that, he tells us that he quite frequently wore a crew cut, and Sally Hayes quite adamantly informs that crew cuts have grown corny, and asks him to grow it out. No, all text disagrees with the idea that Holden just had nice hair. I'm kidding, by the way. In fact, I hope you're right about that. I really do.
