No one said he wasn't after cash. The plot was: CNN supposedly invaded his
space by filming him and he had to call them up to ask them not to show it.
If he REALLY wanted publicity, he wouldn't have called. We are debating the
publicity machine, one which now requires that authors are personalities, as
well as writers, and must be unearthed. If Pynchon is no longer into this,
why the fuss? If he is, then he was smoked out and that the problem we're
after.
