"fascistic disposition" paragraph

[Malignd]

<<"The moment one's homeland comes under air attack"
vs. "the moment enemy bombs begin to fall on one's
homeland. He would never say it your way. It has no
beat, no rhythm, no flow. And it's in passive voice!>>

There's truth to this.  However, if, as you say,
Pynchon is crafty, he's crafty enough to know that
bombs falling from the sky is inapt for evoking the
images burned into our collective skulls on September
11.  If terrorism evokes images of bombs, it's bombs
strapped to people, bombs detonated below bridges,
hidden beneath vehicles, in suitcases, etc.
