they are available in 'hooking up'. wolfe includes a
foreword and afterword to the 2 articles. in the
afterword he writes:
"He [salinger] sent a telegram to Jock Whitney, and he
left nothing between the lines. It was the clearest,
most direct prose he ever wrote for publication in his
entire career:
'With the printing of that inaccurate and
sub-collegiate and gleeful and unrelievedly poisonous
article on William Shawn, the name of the Herald
Tribune and certainly your own will very likely never
again stand for anything either respect-worthy or
honorable.'"
i'm guessing that is the complete text of the
telegram, though wolfe doesn't say so.
