Before the end of the second paragraph I hit this speedbump:
"And the alienated teenager, that fixture of modern American life, didn’t fully exist until J. D. Salinger, with his faultless ear and attentive eye, coaxed him into being."
No need to read further.
Except I went to this line:
"or Bruce E. Ivins, the Army biodefense expert who, the F.B.I. concluded last week, committed anthrax terror in the aftermath of 9/11"
Yep, the FBI certainly had a slam dunk of a case with that one, conveniently convicting a dead man with scant proof well after the fact.
