Gaddis

JPorter smears Gaddis, while praising him, thusly:

The Recognitions which really bummed him out when they didn't come.

Gaddis, Harvard-type? Hardly. Anyway, the CIA recruits at Yale.

Do you know his analyst? Or are you just picking up psychically on his
disappointment.  Surely, had he been a true Harvard man, rewards would have
been showered on him.

God knows what you all say about Pynchon, when you chat on the William F.
Buckley list.
