While They'll Say Anything And/Or Do Anything (To Be "Spiritual") You'll Get To Only Go Away

"Fast-forward 15 years to the next letter, which appears to have been sent in October 1966,...in September of that year, [J.D. Salinger's] wife, Claire, filed for divorce, claiming in court papers that continuation of the marriage would 'seriously injure her health and endanger her reason.'"
-- Alison Leigh Cowan, giving us this bizarre aside, in a fawning article about the late writer's private letters - with no comment or investigation of what life with a weirdo believer does to a normal person - because few care if their insane ideas drive others as bonkers as they are, especially anyone working at The New York Times.
