So even after all the references to LSD that Jim has provided from popular 
media prior to 1966, you still hold on to your unsubstantiated position that 
LSD was unknown to most people when COL was first published?  If so you are 
either blind or hard-headed or both.

BTW, I do think that Pynchon writes for his readers, at least in the sense 
that he expects the surface story to be understood.
