Yo Dude,
                Got my copy of the OKCU Law Review today and have been at it 
a bit.  It seems a mixed bag.  But I have hopes.  Thanks for putting me onto 
it.  I believe that Pynchon holds a very high place in our society, higher 
than he even knows, and the Law Review edition is an example.  How many 
writers have been the subject of such attention, in the US, or anywhere, in 
their lifetimes?  How many writers have a lit-crit journal, an e-list 
dedicated to their work in their time?  How many writers are translated into 
31, or is it 37? languages in their time?  It amazes me.  I can see 
Shakespeare, Dante, Joyce.  But even they don't make Law Review.  Also got a 
postcard from Doug in Hawaii.  He says he's going to read each and every 
P-list entry that's come since he's been away.  So guys, be sharp.
                Max
