Press Never Did Get That Big Interview

J.D. Salinger, author of Catcher in the Rye and much more, dies at 91, it's reported today. For decades reporters have pursued, like the Holy Grail, a major interview with the super-reclusive one up in Cornish, NH, but no one quite pulled it off (there were a few very limited ones). Raise high the roofbeams, carpenters! UPDATE: NYT's Charles McGrath already out with excellent and obviously long-ready obit.
