[David Morris]

Oops, forgot to insert that quote:

>At this time Slothrop's temporal band-width is very slim.  So slim that his 
>very "will" is continually in question.  Each day he is a new individual, 
>distinct and cut-off from those before and after.

>He is besieged from within by the 5th against the standard FOUR.  He is 
>ready to burst.  So he scrawls his Rocket-mandala.  It is a hex, a tool for 
>his keeping himself together.  At the center of the mandala is God, the 
>crossroad which he later becomes, HOME.
