Except, I guess, to the one about whether one is permitted to say that the
analogy coco = gook is *not* in the text of _V._ Which is the simple
interpretation which earnt your ire in the first instance here, so ...

The Playboys seem to be mercenary, unpaid, non-govt and somewhat naive, so
I'm having a hard time fitting them into the military-industrial complex
just at present. And I'm not sure that trying to tailor their representation
to such a shape isn't leading me down a "wrong" path (can there be such a
thing?), *away* from the text so to speak.

But ... indeed ... the more I think about it the more it occurs to me that
_Lot 49_ might also be construed as an encrypted meditation on the
assassination of Leon Trotsky. Mexico ... the Zapatatistas ... and that
Peter Pinguid incident and Society ... ?
