ahh, something about how he's the Everyman that Slothrop
is in GR but this time there's a Doc to save him, something like that.
He turns up here, he turns up there, he turns up everywhere
like that Scarlet Pimpernel, illustrating all phases of the Golden
Fang's plan for consumers...

About all I could think of were those two nuns that went around collecting
dough in those beat-up old straw baskets.  Especially the one with the
glasses with those iron rims.  And this boy I knew at Elkton Hills....
I won't even tell you what they did to him - it's too repulsive - but he
*still* wouldn't take it back, old James Castle....I thought it was "If a
body catch a body," I said.  "Anyway, I keep picturing all these little
kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all.  Thousands of
little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me.  And I'm
standing on the edge of some crazy cliff.  What I have to do, I have to
catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running
and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere
and *catch* them.  That's all I'd do all day.  I'd just be the catcher in the
rye and all.  I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really
like to be.
I know it's crazy." - Holden Caulfield
