Another rave review for M&D in the Washington Post Book World.
Gives more of an idea of the book than any other review so far
almost to the extent of spoiler-dom. Also there was kind of a
slam at certain younger folks (the reviewer must have been an old
guy):"Still, I doubt that Mason & Dixon will attract the computer 
freaks, science fiction fans and Gen-Xers who look upon Gravity's
Rainbow as a kind of modern Scripture (as little read, I suspect, 
as the ancient one). In truth, the novel will probably appeal most
to the people who first celebrated Pynchon, the 60s generation 
that is now entering its own late middle age."
