    Unfortunate title Carol. Coren is arguing that Updike is precisely the opposite.

    That was why I put the question mark at the end of the quote. :)

    Ah, gotcha. Fair point then. Bit of an Updike fan you see. :-)

    From what I read, calling him that on the basis of his original response, then such a comment was very undeserved, and can understand Coren's and your ire.

    Good article. I'm another Updike fan.
