You bring up a big topic, which demands a specificity between the books.  I 
believe in the Big-Book theory, allowing for development over the years.  As 
I've stated, I don't hold a one-to-one relationship between Rachel's name 
and her personal significance.  V. is a book about female amalgams.

Read that last "I hope you didn't miss this detail" post.  I've always 
relied on the kindness of my sources.
