Funny thing: I just called CNN, asked to speak to the Guy in Charge.
Said I was Thomas Pynchon.

They didn't believe me, for some reason. Said they'd look up Henry Holt
in the phone book so they could call me back through them.

I'm crossing my fingers but not holding my breath.

Dastardly, cynical reporters!
