A Rolling Stone Gathers No Maas

[LARSSON at VAX1.Mankato.MSUS.EDU]

Steven (namesake) Maas wonders:
"The maas=mass explanation for Pynchon's use of the name seems unlikely to
me, although far be it from me to dismiss it out of hand.  I've seen that
unintentional misspelling a few million times (it seems like), and it
strikes me as a little lacking in subtlety."

Well, it *is* deliberately punned that way in Mucho's name.

Now in the case of Oedipa, does E=Maas x C squared?
