...Freedom, highest peacetime U.S. civilian honor, awarded to only 24 persons since 1945. Hidden away among such names as Ralph Bunche, Pablo Casals, Felix Frankfurter, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, George Meany and Thornton Wilder were a few less well-known, though no less deserving.

...Salinger's greatest support comes from the group that can consider themselves among the "ins," to a large degree the younger adolescents - the same readers who feld Catcher was their Bible. Holden Caulfield's in group includes himself, his sister, Gatsby, Eustasia Vye, Ring Lardner, and all youths who think themselves sensitive and oppressed.
