217.10 :- 
                 For the pe-nis, he thought-was, his, owwwwn!
 (inner voices)  Was, his, own!

with an unsung '- after all' ?  Meaning S was in control all along ?
Assuming these voices are within Slothrop, rather than Stephen , sounds 
like those niggling doubts have shifted to the other side.
Tyrone's conscience/subconscious is trying to tell him  Hey - don't 
be too quick to assume that Free Will no longer applies just 'cos 
you've found out about Them.  Giving yourself the role of Tool of 
Others is just as lazy, just as slothful as your old pre-revelation
lackadaisickal self.  Keep a handle on your freewheeling Americanism,
chum - that's what They're trying to condition out of you now.

Oh, those reader traps.  Got me again.
