Anachronisms

JOEYDEVIVRE (nice sig!) sez:
" Could it be that Pynchon's fact-checker                
let one little anachronism slip through?"

Actually, there are several such anachronisms in the book, though their 
importance certainly pales in comparison to the immensely correct specficity
of GR.  As I've remarked before, his take on German film history gets the
general facts right, but is rather spotty on certain details, eg. Marlene
Dietrich's career.
