You got the June 5th Voice. Perlstein's book review? He
loves it, but he knows
mud from political satire. On Nixon Pynchon is brilliant, on
Raygun too. The boy with his hand cupped to his ear, is it
Rex and Frenesi's son. He watches The News Hour on PBS. But
Hitchens, and you know this, shouldn't get an e-mail with
Vineland as Subject. 
That's I feel about it. 

I'm a bitch,
