Re: Salinger's Problem with Westerners?

Wait...when did either John or myself do this:

    <<Yocum & Patrick sound a good deal more serious about books
    than I ever was. But to consign the three of us, & our like,
    implicitly, to the ranks of the knuckle-trailers is a teenshy,
    TEENSHY, weenchy bit - dare I say it ? - arrogant.

    Scottie B.>>

At what point were denigrating comments made about either Daniel or yourself
or either of your ability to understand literature?

I think understanding where this comment comes from (and why it would be made
so out of the blue) would probably take us a long way toward understanding
the real source of the attitudes in the article.
