Mothballs, right? Everything unpacked just for  Slothrop:  "the operational
scent in here is carbon tet, Jackson, and this wardrobe here's mostly

That line reminds me of something somebody said here some time ago,
thinking about the paranoia-endendering reaction TRP's son might have when
he gets around to reading GR with these "Jackson" salutations.
