Damn, Gordon Lish is proved right once again!
In his longish short story, titled "For Jerome, with Love and Kisses,"
written in the supposed voice of Sol Salinger to his son, Sol needles Jerome
about his abandonment of the perfectly good names Jerome David for the
initials JD. Sol says something along the lines of: "What *is* a JD? How
do you expect the King of Sweden to give the Nobel Prize to a JD; it's not
even a real name."
