On a related subject, anybody else think that TRP's reference to "tyrosine"
on p. 71 might be a clue about how to read Slothrop's name, "Tyrone"?
Tyrosine metamorphoses into melanin, rendering visible a previously
invisible message, after application of "seminal fluid".

This seems a good a guess and, in any case, the cited paragraph seems rife 
with clues:  that the paragraph was written by  Jamf, he who conditioned baby 
Tyrone and created not only Kyptosam, but Imipolex G; that baby Tyrone's 
conditioned reflex was his erections; that Kryptosam is active in the 
presence of semen; that Tyrone personally bleaches, i.e., his melanin fades 
(for some reason).  Other ticklers:  "some component ... *to date [1934] 
unidentified"*; "No other *known* reagent"; "... knowledge of addressee's 
psychosexual profile ..." 

A string of red herrings, perhaps, but a nice catch by the Millison.

Two additional notes.  OKW:  Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (Armed Forces High 
Command); tyrosine is actual, an amino acid formed by the breakdown of 
protein, as when cheese rots.
