Perhaps you should read the books and focus on them and not what some
participants in this discussion say. It sounds like you're busy, working
in some cold far away from home location ... no copies of Pynchon about
to dip into ... so ... before you do something you regret ... focus on
the task before you and let us talk about the books we have before us. 
Zitzah is the antithesis of the meaning of her name, satisfaction and
joy. She is discontented, a malcontent. After you have demolished the
pedophiles in your fantasies, perhaps you'll find time to explain how
Zippi Pisk (In Yiddish a fast talking Big Mouth)  has been named for the
"North African" wife of Moses, the woman who saved his ass from the
wrath of his God by cutting his penis with a stone. I sure would like to
hear from anyone who has a copy of Sale's SDS. Howaboutit? Anyone? Page

"Thursday, April 4. . . . Law student meeting, King shot. Times Square." 

This is the section that Pynchon parodies. Violence, violence, violence. 

The Pisk Sisters are not quite as Sick as Dick Nixon or Brock Vond, but
they are the sick secret bombers in the whole sick 60's crew.
