I don't think your question was much of a spoiler. How sensitive are these
folks, anyway?

I've been looking at those capitalized words as hyperlinks ('tho I haven't
tried clicking on them). He does tend to capitalize those words that
to the seasoned Pynchon reader are key in Pynchon's fiction. This is
probably just beside the point, however, the use of capitalization being nothing
more than a form of emphasis.
