gracias tim, you make good sense.  I do think Mr. Salinger was getting
some support from his parents and now wonder what Sol thought of his
"writer" son...my dad was a salesman who worried so much about his writer
son starving that he damn near forced me into his business.  The only way
out for me was to succeed at it and then say no--damn near broke my dad's
heart on that one and he died before he could truly know I was right to
get back to more text based realities, and so I wonder now what it was
like at the Salinger breakfast table in l947...

Jerry--eat your cornflakes and then you'd better be at the typewriter by
9!
