Re: Salinger's Problem with Westerners?

    I can just see John's 'momentary' (if somewhat tight-lipped)
    smile as he dismisses Chip Morningstar's squib for being so
    'old' & 'lame'. A bit like watching a chap, with great self-control,
    indulge the urchin who has just dropped a mouse down his pants.

    I'm afraid, though, quite a few of us low-life types will be
    pissing ourselves at the precision with which it hits the bull.

    Why is it so many teachers of language & literature - of communication,
    for Crissake - find it so hard to convey their thoughts to the rest
    of us? It must be the thoughts are too subtle, too paradoxical,
    too ornate for a plainer exposition.

    That must be it.
