OK you got my full attention now. At bottom of p. 237 "And then, well, he 
[Slothrop] is lately beginning to find his way into one particular state
of consciousness . . . a soul we know, a voice that has more than once
spoken through research-facility medium Carroll Eventyr: the late Roland
Feldpath again, long-co-pted expert on control systems, guidance . . .  
Seems that, for personal reasons, Roland has remained hovering over this
Slothropian space . .  ." (and much more about Roland)
