And speaking of punter Orin, when "the Moms" lobs her sadly estranged
eldest son a long, loving letter c/o the New Orleans Saints, the "return" 
is  nothing more nor less than a form letter signed by Jethro BODINE,
Assistant Mailroom Technician, thanking her for the message of support. 
(portion of multi-page footnote 110, p. 1007)
 
There seem to be nods to TRP throughout the book.

				P.

I asked DF Wallace about allusions to GR in his IJ when he read and 
signed in SF two weeks ago.  He insisted that there was only one such 
allusion, for what that's worth.  Maybe I just didn't phrase my question 
properly.  I've only gotten up to p.90 of IJ thus far cuz I have final exams to 
deal with this coming week.              -jm
