Salinger's marriage to Douglas was also over by 1967, though they continued to live near one another so they could share in the upbringing of their two children, Margaret, who would publish a not entirely flattering memoir about her father in 2000, and Matthew, who became an actor and producer. Salinger would remain a recluse, but he was never inclined to be a hermit. Within a few years of his divorce, he enticed another young woman to join him in exile.

...Palin's memoir outraged many people involved in the McCain-Palin operation. She portrayed McCain's aides as controlling, frazzled and easily spooked. They, in turn, saw in her book an array of the qualities they had come to discern in her during the campaign: the self-serving habits, the malice, the distant relationship with the truth. For McCainworld, all the old feelings toward Palin came back in a rush. But except for chief strategist Steve Schmidt's concise dismissal of the book ("fiction") and communications adviser Nicolle Wallace's somewhat more lengthy refutation on The Rachel Maddow Show, virtually...
