...serve as an affront to more purposeful lives. The most engaging character on the 1950s sitcom My Little Margie was the boyfriend, Freddie, whose job consisted of spending the day looking at construction sites. My favorite scene in Catcher in the Rye occurs when Holden is in his public-speaking class. The teacher orders the students to yell out the word digression! whenever a speech loses focus or direction. Holden is, of course, a living digression...
