Don't be sorry. That info was taken from the Gravity's Rainbow Companion,
which could prolly use a li'l tinkering here and there. And it brings up an
interesting point. Why is TRP calling it the Bundestag on 158.9? Is he
referring back with knowledge of the change to come and trying to say
something about the state of federalist influence already creeping into an
imperial parlaiment?
