While we're on the subject (some subject - I do know Salinger is not Roth), was Franny pregnant, or what? Never could figure that out, but I had occasion to pass through the train station in New Haven several years ago and guess what popped into my mind?

Does Holden still speak to today's HSers? Wouldn't that be nice ... How about 'A Fine Day for Bananafish':

She may not have been pregnant but she was certainly glassy-eyed.
