"Updike," the Jerusalem Post of 10 November 1978, told its readers, `has the slight slurp of a speech impediment, the sort of thing once affected by cavalry subalterns. 'I liked to imagine, all evidence to the contrary, that my stutter was unnoticeable, that only I was conscious of it. Conscious, that is, of a kind of window pane suddenly inserted in front of my face while I was talking, or of a barrier thrust into my throat.' [from the Book]. Item #16-3593
