...Supreme Court or try to issue the book in a more watered-down form. Salinger naturally had no comment on the court's decision. Holden Caulfield had already spoken for him, after all. In the opening lines of The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger's captious hero warns the reader, "I'm not going to tell you my whole goddam autobiography." And not going to let anyone else tell it either...
...policies. Though last year was a difficult one for the entire industry, TIME not only maintained but enhanced its leadership in the magazine field. We increased our edge in advertising revenue and had the largest share of ad pages in all newsmagazines for our strongest showing in two decades. Reader demand for TIME also remained strong.

Aside from the virile platitude about the waste product in the air- turbulence apparatus, the exchange seems rather stilted for a chairman of the Federal Reserve Board and a distinguished authority on international finance. But then, much needs to be explained if the reader is to share in the panic. Why are two unappealing Venezuelan brothers plotting to wreck the U.S. economy? What fearsome weapon does the Third World wield? How much do Swiss banks and European money houses have to gain at America's expense...
