 Half of Holden's head is covered with gray hairs, while the other side
 is fine.  I always took this to mean that he is split between growing up
 and staying young.  But isn't "split-brained" another term for
 schizophrenia, or do I just have a confused memory of my psych textbook
 from high school?  Maybe I'm just reading way too much into this.
