sinister Slothrop

[Paul Mackin]

Is Sinister Slothrup by any chance left handed.
A Southpaw, a crooked arm?
Naw, no baseball  in Gravity's Rainbow. (no sports)
Only thing S pitches is woo.
Do we have any samples of his handwriting?
Letters home to Naline?
Don't recall off hand any references to written communication though he does
seem to have plenty of lead in his pencil (as they say). Probably just
forgotten.
