Howdy
First line of page 411 in Viking Edition is 
"IG go to seances? They ought to be quite at home with the bureaucra-"

The parenthesis in question is at line 8 
"(after you get a little time in--whatever"

The gentleman is right, it never closes! Assuming this to be a
printer's error, I would replace the em-dash after "over here" with the
closing parenthesis. But it doesn't read especially well that way, and
so the idea that it just Never Closes is attractive to me.
