Emily, Call it bibliomancy, or whatever, but I happened to have a copy of F&Z next to my computer when I read your message and opening it randomly, came across this passage [Buddy writing to Zooey]: "(Meanwhile, I can only say that neither Seymour nor I ever had a notion, that far back, that you were going to grow up into an actor. We *should* have, no doubt, but we didn't. If we had, I feel certain S. would have tried to do something constructive about it. Surely somewhere there must be a special prep course for Nirvana and points East designed strictly for actors, and I think S. would have found it.)" Besides, I don't think in the kind of philo that JDS seems to talk about there is any bias against acting in a soap opera, shitty or otherwise. ;) Sonny --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sundeep Dougal (Sonny, to friends) Holden Caulfield, New Delhi, INDIA On Sun, 7 Sep 1997, Emily Moore wrote: > enlightenment.
