Adam Smith quotes are only interesting or of value when he does
things like come out against allowing corporations ("joint stock
companies") or when he remarks how never do two or more 
businessmen meet together but they do conspire to fix prices (or
some such; I was an economist, in my youth, but I try to 
forget...).

Quote the Pope calling for family planning, aye, then you get
my attention.

Now, Massie's volume, as the title suggests, includes a techno-subtext (or
an attempt at one).  It also recounts certain Pynchonian settings and
situations, regarding "V" and "Under the Rose".  It would be interesting -
does anyone know more about this connection?
