Holden Morrisey [sic] Caulfield

"Slight Rebellion off Madison," right? The 1946 story that had Holden Caulfield going on date with Sally, only in third person?

Deal:

Holden's name is given as Holden Morrisey Caulfield. With one "s." But still, who knew this hero to the young disaffected would bear as middle moniker the same mobriquet* of Mahatma of Mope?

Also, the guy on break from Andover the kids see at the Lunts, the one who calls the Lunts "angels?" Here his name is George Harrison.

So, how could they have not known that Chapman would try to kill a Beatle? With all the googles and stuff we have now, it would have been a cinch to decipher this!



* yes, it's actually sobriquet, but "alliteration! Had you noticed? It is my least vice."
