Re: brushing shoulders with Holden Caulfield?

Hi All,

I saw the same show on HBO and thought it was odd, but also a hoot. And yes,
I did hear overtones of Holden at times (such as when the young men were
bragging about how they "misbehaved" in school while at the same time "regretting"
it as well).

But I must say that my favorite was the young Baron / Viscount who was
directly descended from Kaiser Wilhelm. There he sat, with an awful haircut, bad
skin, and a pasty yellow-eyed face, and as cliched a voice as one can imagine,
talking about being noble -- and you'd absolutely swear he was being played by
a beginning acting student from some small American high school who was
preparing for his first real role. This kid had to be a plant. If he was real, than
both Hem and Scott were at least partially wrong -- sometimes they really
aren't different from you and me, no matter how much money they have.

In any case, it was an interesting show, and perhaps the most telling moment
came when you saw that they all shared a single, most powerful, most
terrifying fear.

I'll let you guess what it was.

All the best,

--John
