Nixon in GR

[Dave Monroe]

Okay, very good, I haven't even seen my copy of the
Companion in years (though I believe an updated ed. is
on the way), but I'm still not so sure about "several
major statements about Watergate" or whatever.  Aand,
again, there'd've been plenty of reasons to mistrust
et al. Nixon up to that point.  The Richard M. Zhlubb
bit seems to be about Nixon more generically and good
ol' Mutually Asured Destruction in general, so ...

Another last minute touch (in addition to the already
mentioned Richard M. Zhlubb episode) is the late
change of the epigraph for part 4 of the novel, The
Counterforce. In A Gravity's Rainbow Companion,
Weisenburger states:

"Clifford Mead, in a brief note, has commented that
the galley sheets for Gravity's Rainbow did not have
the Nixon epigraph but included instead the fourth
verse of Joni Mitchell's 1968 song "Cactus Tree""

The late change would indicate that a reference to
Watergate is intended and should be inferred....
