wonder how proficient Pynchon is with other languages. wouldn't be surprised 
if he knew a few.  the Hajdu article on Burn's Jazz in the NYRB is very 
good.

Another book recommendation:  Private Warriors by Ken Silverstein.  explains 
the nefarious deeds, connections, and repercussions of our own true blue, 
patriotic military-indutrial complex in these here United States.
