Salinger's newest theory isn't original, but it's catnip to conspiracy buffs. Earlier this month he went before television cameras in France to announce that he had been given a document by an unnamed French intelligence agent offering "very, very strong proof" that TWA Flight 800 had been destroyed accidentally by a missile test-fired from a U.S. naval vessel.

Studies of the collagen sac between the brain and skull in diabetics and the elderly turned up brown pigment characteristic of advanced glycosylation.

The ruins appear to correspond to a palace in ancient Alexandria--perhaps the love nest of classical history's most powerful lovers, the pair who, the Bard wrote, "kiss'd away Kingdoms." Proof may still be wanting, but the romance has been reburnished...
