I'm afraid you're mistaken, Paul. The original plan was supply every 
American household with access to free Pynchon texts, but then the 
Republicans objected and said that TRP was too "un-American" (a sop 
to the wing of the party which supported Buchanan), so Slick Willy 
Clinton struck a compromise deal to ensure that all Americans have 
access to some kind of "Pyncheon Plan", i.e. an abridged version of 
Hawthorne's "House of the Seven Gables".
