----------------------------
I doubt there's anyone here who is cheerleading (only the local media is 
doing that). Who can be happy over such things. Grudging support I'll give 
the administration, but being in NYC, there are too many sober reminders of 
the costs.

You're only pissing on the paper trails, Doug. You're the only one who keeps 
bringing up Pynchon's connection to everything--it's not an ignoring of the 
facts. Some of us don't see as clear paths of connection as you apparently 
do.
