"Most of the documents were found by the scholar Kiron K. Skinner 
among the Reagan papers. They are raw drafts, with Reagan's 
self-editing apparent, and reveal a writer adept at marshaling a 
philosophical argument in a listener-friendly, conversational style. 
In today's age of composition on computers and writing by government 
committee, we are struck by the workings of one man's mind expressed 
through a pen in his hand. "

P.S. If you need Pynchon relevance, think Vineland.
