[Doug Millison]

  http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/ tells us that DeLong is "Professor 
of Economics J. Bradford DeLong, 601 Evans Hall, #3880  University of 
California at Berkeley."  He appears to currently teach two courses, 
Econ 211, the Economic History Seminar, and  Economics 210b, Graduate 
European Economic History.   He provides a link, 
http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/TCEH/Slouch_title.html, to what he 
describes as "the in-progress draft of my economic history of the 
20th century." His web site is worth checking out, as he has his 
fingers in many pies that we also find in Pynchon's work. 
http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/Econ_Articles/Reviews/evans.html is 
the article under discussion here, his review of Richard Evans 
(2000), Lying About Hitler: History, the Holocaust, and the David 
Irving Trial (New York: Basic Books: 0465021522), which also mentions 
the earlier book, Richard Evans (1997), In Defense of History (New 
York: Norton: 0393319598)
