It may be an intepretive stretch (ducking, dodging,
anticipating the flame-thrower), but this reader at
least finds the whole discussion between Basnight and
Ponghill, pp.173-174, recalls, somehow, the Unabomber
and his letter bombs, his continued residence in jail
and the letters he receives (and the missives he
published while a fugitive from justice), and the fact
that Pynchon was somehow mixed up in it by suspicious
FBI or Department of Justice types, however that story
goes.
(Disclaimer: I happen to know the son of one of the
Unabomber's victims, one who survived albeit maimed.)
