Brief reference to TRP in book on Pacific missile tests

[Evan M Corcoran]

A brief mention of Pynchon appears in the book "Chasing Gravity's Rainbow."
A single paragraph mentions his invention of the term "gravity's rainbow" to
describe the arc of a ballistic missile in flight.  There is nothing else of
interest to the Pynchon student in the remainder of the book.
