     Typical CNN graphics typo -- they dropped the word "to."  
     I taped the 1am repeat and the typo was fixed.
     
     An earlier piece the same evening on sexual affairs in the military 
     identified some guy as the Pentagon Spokesma.

I was just watching the CNN streaming video clip,,,
     
When they quote Pynchon, the narrator says one thing, but the words on the 
screen read another, "My belief is that 'recluse' is a code word generated 
by journalists... meaning, doesn't like to talk reporters..."
     
What does the code 'to talk reporters' mean??!!,,,
