The announcement of Pynchon's foreword for 1984 is not exaggerated--I've
already checked with Plume.

When jbor wrote of applying the "Gullibility Test" to Richard Romeo's post,
he began by stating, "Consider the
source of the 'scoop' (Dickie Montague)."

The suggestion that Richard might not be a trustworthy source of information
was way out of line.  I challenge anyone on this list to come up with even
one good reason to doubt Richard, the "source."

And oh yes...the "Centennial Edition" refers to the fact that George Orwell
was born in 1903.
