yep, that's pretty much what i thought. I incurred a lot of bitterness 
in that class when she blew me off for saying that I didn't think Holden 
was crazy.... but she did the same thing when I said that the man in 
_The Stranger_ wasn't necessarily insane, and neither were Didi and Gogo 
in _Waiting for Godot_..... the list goes on and on. i'll stop now.
