NP: fox spotted at supreme court

[Bandwraith at aol.com]

I saw this item scroll across the bottom of the little
screen yesterday, on CNN (natch).

I was too busy to follow it up last eve. Actually,
I thought I might have misread it, but I guess not.

You're right, you can't make this stuff up.

I can understand how life in the real world and life on the
p-list can sometimes seem toblurtogether, call it coincidence or
or even something more paranoid, but for the life of me, I 
don't quite understand why Pynchon would create a character
like Gershom. What's the significance of a black/jewish
kabballist as Washington's "man." Help me out of this
dilemma.
