Hal may have felt like lashing out at his young critic, but instead he accepted the slur as if he had merely been done a candid favor.

...earliest, The Connection, his latest, The Apple, and Bertolt Brecht's Jungle of the Cites, is particularly guilty. The Connection deals with dope, jazz and all that evil stuff. It sells as a result. His new job, The Apple, is set in a coffee house that reproduces the visiting salesman's image of Greenwich Village...
