learned to let ideas sink in with a wider variety of conventions...I'm
tired though of those who attack intelligent analysis or care with
language in the name of Salinger...his fiction is about intelligence as
well as being intelligent--and his care with language is exquisite. As
usual, the divisions seem to be generational...will
