I kinda almost hate to admit that I don't need to crack <smirk> GR to 
remember the ripping explosion during the rescue sequence. Maybe 
that's why Narrisch (foolish) goes back to hold off the Ruskies.

Yes, there is no subject absent from Pynchon. No - that isn't a 
challenge for yet another P-List parlo(u)r game. Or if it is, lets 
save it for the DC gathering. Sorry the whole list won't be there. 
See the kinda things you'll be missing...
