Meredith - I'm awfully embarassed and sorry that I made the assumption that you might be Canadian. I think it was something you said about the number of points off you can get on your driver's test that did it. It's exactly the same up here. As for the Mark Chapman (I think that's the name of the man who killed John Lennon) question, I read somewhere that Chapman thought that Lennon was a phony and all phonies must die. I don't think Catcher really made him kill John Lennon. Mark Chapman was (is?) a mentally sick person and was strongly influenced by the novel. It just pushed him over the edge, I suppose. Just a theory. Disregard it if you wish. - Marta ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
