AtD and 9/11

[Steven]

	I agree with you.  It was the beginning of modernity in all it's  
dehumanizing forms.  I'm reading Ambroise Vollard's memoirs of Renoir  
and the artist was a real curmudgeon when it came to hating the mass- 
produced, the consciously quaint, the psycho-analyzed.  I think he  
and Pynch could've had quite a chat.
