...doubters still remain-that women can write about physical functions just as frankly and, when the genes move them, as raunchily as men. It strikes a blow for the picara by putting a heroine through the same paces that once animated a Tom Jones or a Holden Caulfield. And it suggests that life seen from what was once called the distaff side suspiciously resembles the genitalia-centered existence that male novelists have so long monopolized. The organs are different; the scoring is the same...
...Left. In Yanks, Duke Bronkowski (Tony Lo Bianco) is on the mound, and he has shuddering intimations of mortality on that slab. He talks to himself continuously in an erratic monologue that is both manic and depressive: "Here I am 39 years old, and my hero is still Holden Caulfield."

...attempt to find out through tax audits in 1971 whether Actor John Wayne, a supporter of the President, was being unfairly treated by IRS, Caulfield secured tax-status reports from Acree on such other cinema celebrities as Richard Boone, Sammy Davis Jr., Jerry Lewis, Peter Lawford, Fred MacMurray, Lucille Ball and Frank Sinatra, as well as on California Governor Ronald Reagan. After comparing these reports with Wayne's treatment by IRS, Caulfield concluded that "the Wayne complaint ... does not appear to be strong enough to be pursued." The same Acree-to-Caulfield connection gave the White House information...
