The Ice Storm & GR

[Dave Monroe]

I waffled on this earlier, but, while on the one hand,
Pynchon had the better part of a year betwixt the
scandal's emergence and the publication of GR, he was
clearly not a fan nearly a decade earlier, writing of
Sick Dick and The Volkswagens and Peter Pinguid (cf.
Slick Dick) in The Crying of Lot 49.  It was mentioned
that he'd changed the epigraph to Pt. IV to that
Nixon, uh, quote.  Source on that?  Reliable?  At any
rate, I'm still not sure these anything SPECIFICALLY
Watergatian, but if anyone spots anything, well ...
