I wonder what old Hemingway would have said to the recent Attenborough
movie Love and War (is it?) about all this...

I'd love to reead this Carlos Baker bio of Hemingway...I guess my
American Center here would have it..I remember Warren French (Revisited
book) mentions that this bio talks about a jds letter to Hemingway way
back in 1946 or so, in which jds wanted to play Holden Caulfield himself
in a play that he was writing..ah, those manuscripts
