Uh, was this sexual twist supposed to be subtle?  I (for one, and I suspect
there are more) am surprised that "doing someone" in the sexual sense wasn't
about the first thing that came to mind rather'n the last as foax read the
Kenosha Kid passage.  I kinda thought people were neglecting to mention it
because they thought it was rather obvious.  Maybe I'm just too corrupted to
be a Pynchon reader (smiley emoticon here).
