Was thatthe main feature or the only feature? The article is full of
the usual personal and literary crap currently doing the rounds,
including mention of Jules, Lineland and us. Apparently, James Bone is
the guy from the London Times who talked to Dale Larson in New York at
the KGB Pynchon look-alike competition. Pynchon's reaction when he was
snapped and then approached by a Bone with hand extended `to placate
him, a gesture of reassurance' was `"Get your f***ing hand away from
me," he bellowed, "I don't like people taking my picture!"'  Well, I
have access to a scanner but I guess it would not be politic to put
the thing up on the web. Sorry.
