What timing:

[Teen Age Riot]

The only possible literary event which might have overshadowed M&D has
decided to take place.  Whaddaya guys think?  Was JD pushed into it by our
man's own recent exposure to the public? Note, 34 is twice 17... :)

	 WASHINGTON (Reuter) - Reclusive author J. D. Salinger next  
month will publish his first new book in 34 years, the 
Washington Post reported Friday. 
	 ``Hapworth 16, 1924'' will be issued by Orchises Press, a  
small press in Alexandria, Va. run by George Mason University 
English professor Roger Lathbury, the newspaper said. 
	 Salinger's agent, Phyllis Westberg, confirmed the deal but  
would answer no other questions, according to the report. The 
publisher also refused to discuss any details, including how 
many copies were being printed. He did say no copies would be 
sent to reviewers. 
	 Between 1951 and 1963 Salinger, who is 78, published four  
books -- ``Catcher in the Rye,'' ``Nine Stories,'' ``Franny and 
Zooey,'' and ``Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters.'' 
	 The new book, which first appeared in the New Yorker  
magazine in 1965, should be on sale by early March, the Post 
said.
