God knows why......we've had this discussion many times, and I've always 
felt it would be a truly sad day when and if a JDS book was ever 
Hollywood'ized.  It's certainly not a good idea, for many of the reasons 
you listed in your post, and secondly it would seem awfully contradictory 
to the Salinger philosophy in general to 'go Hollywood'.
