 I think Pynchon isn't just in Chicago, he created it. A supposedly 
 liberal supporter of the Nigerian junta named after a British fascist 
 and Hitler's mistress... That's in the same league as Manny Di Presso 
 or Emory Bortz.

	You are right about Oswald Moseley, Craig, but Carol's other
"parent" is not Eva Braun, but Wernher von Braun.
	As for Abacha, I would refuse to have dinner with anyone who wants
to kill one of the world's great writers (Wole Soyinka).  But perhaps
Carol Moseley-Braun lacks my literary sensibilities . . .
