Time July 16, 1951 With Love & 20-20 Vision THE CATCHER IN THE RYE (277 pp.) - J.D. Salinger - Little, Brown ($3) "Some of my best friends are children," says Jerome David Salinger, 32. "In fact, all of my best friends are children." And Salinger has written short stories about his best friends with love, brilliance and 20-20 vision. In his tough-tender first novel, The Catcher in the Rye ( a Book-of-Month Club midsummer choice), he charts the miseries and ecstasies of an adolescent rebel, and deals out some of the most acidly humorous deadpan satire since the late great Ring Lardner. Some Cheap Hotel. A lanky, crew-cut 16, well-born Holden Caulfield is sure all the world is out of step but him. His code is the survival of the flippest, and he talks a lingo as forthright and gamy in its way, as a soldier's. Flunking four subjects out of five, he has just been fired from his fourth school. Afraid to go home ahead of his bad news, he checks in at a chea...

Document 1404 PATHS TO DR DOS CONFIGURATION FILES ON NETWORKS Description: If paths are being lost over the network, it is likely that the files: *.INI *.CFG are being stored in the wrong place. Use: DR DOS SETUP  "System Parameters" menu Sub menu #6  to point configuration and information files to the users home directory. Example: ViewMax and other files, have .ini (information) files. If you load these utilities from a server (Z::) z::viewmax DR DOS will look for the VIEWMAX.INI file on the path set by the local SETUP, System Parameter menu, sub menu number 6.  The default may not work on a network.  Usually the network is setup so that you have a special "user path" that will allow you to write files, remember the Network knows who you are and what privileges you have. That "user path" is the one to put the preferences and information files. Example: z:\netusers\Boris\ ...

Saturday Review of Literature July 14, 1951 Fiction. Four books reviewed this week were among those that were singled out by the nation's book critics for their lists of recommended summer reading ("In the Critic's Hammock," SRL June 23). A first novel by a young man who has won wide critical acclaim for his short stories popped up on many list: it is J. D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye," which Harrison Smith discusses below. Other recommended books include Edwin G. Huddleston's entertaining picture of life in a small Tennessee town, "The Claybooks".... Manhattan Ulysses, Junior THE CATCHER IN THE RYE. By J.D.Salinger. Boston: Little, Brown & Co. 277 pp. $3. By Harrison Smith That there is something wrong or lacking in the novels of despair and frustration that many of our younger writers are turning out has long been apparent. The sour note of bitterness and the recurring theme of sadism have become almost a convention, nev...

Newsweek July 16, 1951 Problem Boy Jerry Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye" begins with a description by its 16-year-old narrator of Pencey Prep in Agerstown, Pa. "They advertise in about a thousand magazines, always showing some hot-shot guy on a horse jumping over a fence... And underneath the guy on he horse's picture, it always says 'Since 1888 we have been molding boys into splendid, clear-thinking men.' Strictly for the birds. They don't do any damn more molding at Pencey than they do at any other school." Young Holden Caulfield knew. He had been expelled from two other schools, and Pencey was no different. Watching the last game of the year from beside the Revolutionary War cannon on Thomsen Hill - he wasn't at the field - freezing cold because somebody had stolen his camel's hair coat and fur-lined gloves, this youthful philosopher reflected that he was really hanging around "trying to feel some kind of a good-bye....

New York Herald Tribune Book Review , August 19, 1951 On the Books & On an Author By John K. Hutchens J. D. Salinger Shortly before his "Catcher in the Rye" appeared, Jerome David Salinger not only asked his publisher's office (Little, Brown) to send him no reviews of his novel but actually made them promise not to. "That" said a friend of his the other day, "will give you an idea of the kind of guy he is, "together with the Salinger reaction to his publisher's phone call informing him that the Book-of-the-Month Club has chosen "Catcher" as its midsummer selection. "That's good, is it?" said Mr. Salinger. Later he asked that there be no special publicity to-do about him, "because I might get to believe it." As a matter of fact, he was inclined to be annoyed by the picture of him that filled the back of the book's jacket. Too big, he said. He was born in New York City on Jan. 1, 1915,(1919 ?) went to...

The Christian Science Monitor, July 19, 1951 New Novels in the News The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger. (Boston: Little, Brown & Co.277 pp. $3.) By T. Morris Longstreth Mr. Salinger is a war veteran in his early thirties who has written short stories for The New Yorker and other magazines. This, his first novel, is the midsummer selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club. A sixteen-year-old schoolboy, Holden Caulfield, tells the story - with the paradoxical result that is not fit for children to read. Mr. Salinger says, "All of my best friends are children. It's almost unbearable to me to realize that my book will be kept on a shelf out of their reach." Many adults as well will not wish to condition themselves to Holden's language. Indeed, one finds it hard to believe that a true lover of children could father this tale. Twice there is a reminder of Shakespeare. It has comes near Macbeth's despairing definition of life, "a tale told by an idiot...
