Losing Howard Zinn and J.D. Salinger in the same week. Sadness great, yet not unbearable, their loss to the literary world cannot be minimized. Zinn for bringing us a more accurate accounting of this country's past, present and future (A Peoples History of the United States) and Salinger for writing the most censored and second-most taught book in American High Schools (Catcher in the Rye).
Rest in Peace, Gentlemen.
