"1988 Audio Interview with Ian Hamilton, author of In Search of J. D. Salinger - RealAudio"
"The rest were standing around in hatless, smoky little groups of twos and threes and fours inside the heated waiting room, talking in voices that, almost without exception, sounded collegiately dogmatic, as though each young man, in his strident, conversational turn, was clearing up, once and for all, some highly controversial issue, one that the outside, non-matriculating world had been bungling, provocatively or not, for centuries."
"The thing is, it's really hard to be roommates with people if your suitcases are much better than theirs - if yours are really good ones and theirs aren't.

It's one of the reasons why I roomed with a stupid bastard like Stradlater. At least his suitcases were as good as mine."
