not-so-blind Justice- blindfold replaced by ND-1's. That reading would be
paired to Frenesi as Liberty, holding a floodlight instead of a torch, at
Weed's death scene and reduced to a darkly reflected shadow in the eye of
his murderer.<<

mediated by 24 hour news channels, documentaries, and grand juries (cf.
_Vineland_ p. 242:35 - 243:10)
