"Of course, most principals and school board members would
probably declare "zero tolerance" policies for Mickey
Spillane books and suspend anyone caught carrying one, as
they do for kids wearing trench-coats now."
Jay's probably right. After all, look at what's happening to
the Harry Potter books in some schools right now. And back
when I was teaching high school, one of my students got in
trouble in Study Hall for reading Ian Fleming. The teacher
took it away from him and tore it in half. I'm glad to say
that I was a little more open-minded. When he told me the
story, I gave him a copy of a Matt Helm book. Probably
changed his life.
