FUNKY CAPITaLIZATION iN m&D

[Scott Fleisher]

Despite the snootiness of Mark Smith. . .
"Jeez.  Here's a theory for you.  Maybe it's JUST LIKE German.  Maybe
it's the nouns.  Could it really be that simple?  Nah."

I checked this *obvious* noun theory out.  If it is what Pynchon's doing,
it is inconsistent.  There are capitalized common nouns on nearly every
page.  I even looked for some pattern to the lower-case common nouns--I
didn't discover anything in particular.
