GR/Pynchon newbie question

One of those Grails Pynchon talks about so much that when you've finished 
the book and still not found out *what the fuck it actually is*, you 
become convinced you've missed a whole passage.  But no, it really isn't 
there.  Tchitcherine knows but you don't, na na na na naaa na!

I did notice, though, that after not being mentioned for a few hundred 
pages it suddenly gets mentioned again in the Raketenstadt passage near 
the end of the book, and it's in close conjunction with two other Lights: 
the fires of the Rocket, and the glare of the Bomb.


Cheers,
