VLVL "happy ending"?

[Keith McMullen]

 >>>It is obvious that Pynchon is rooting against the
right-wing, especially against the Reagan-Bush
"conservative" politics that slides effortlessly into
the neofascist. No serious Pynchon reader proposes the
contrary.<<<

as effortlessly slides into buffoonery. To acknowledge such references 
in Vineland does not make one a neo-conservative, nor a frivolous 
reader.
