Thomas,

In your notes, you included this:

"Remember, Profane, how it is on Route 14, south, outside Elmira, New York?
You walk on an overpass and look west and see the sun setting on a junkpile.
Acres of old cars, piled up ten high in rusting tiers- A graveyard for cars.
If I could die, that's what my graveyard would look like.
'I wish you would. Look at you, masquerading like a human being. You ought
to be junked, not burned or cremated.'"
Of course,. Like a human being. Now remember, right after the Nuremberg war
trials? Remember the photographs of Auschwitz? Thousands of Jewish corpses,
stacked up like those poor car-bodies. Schlemihl: It's already started.

That's what I was referring to.

Thanks,
Doug
