    I also read the Telegraph article when it appeared 
    last week - to mark, I assumed, the 80th birthday.  
    They used a big, blown up version of the famously 
    troubled shot of the old man's shying away from 
    the papperazzo.  Which didn't seem awfully kind.

    I'm glad, though, that we Brits paid our homage.
    (There were briefer references in some of the other
    posh papers.)  Were his own countrymen similarly
    appreciative ?  Or has Joyce pre-empted the Salinger
    slots for the moment ?
