I was re-reading Salinger the other day. Kids wearing Ivy in his fiction are often a little obnoxious - or at least that's the way the author views them. Anyone found any other American authors in which our kind of stuff is discussed or described? Anyone know how Salinger himself dressed during his truly creative period?

Thanks for that, Russell - Wolfe as sardonic and enjoyable as ever (though I don't much like the way he dresses).
Mornin' Chet.,
Time I wandered down The 'Dilly to get some breakfast I think. Richoux this morning with my hip flask just to give the coffee a helping hand...

Mornin' Jim,
Fine autumn day up here, wind blowin', dressed in my finest blue-purple Troy Guild button-down, and I am just puce with envy at you being down there in the capital while I'm about to run into half the cast of 'Deliverance'...
Brilliant - thanks for that. I read and enjoyed O'Hara many years ago.
re: above.
Cooke's book mentions that there was a guy at Brooks. who kept a collection of books that mentioned Brooks.
I think I excerpted it on FNB somewhere....
Aljazz's post is splendid.
