Deaths in GR

[John.Hamill at vuw.ac.nz]

If we're going for a body count... we musn't forget the bodies that Pokler
finds at Dora.  The anonymous female body he gives his wedding ring to is
of course *just* alive, the ring being a contribution to the long ride home...
but wasn't there a few *other* corpses lying around?  

Whether any of these die "in" the novel is an interesting question... not 
in the sense of an Elizabethan play's death-throe-speech anyway.

On a more flippant note... my vote is that Slothrop at the end has reached
what lawyers who want to flip the switch in intensive care call a 
"persistant vegetative state".
