Dies Irae

[rich]

hello friends

speaking of Underworld and DeLillo, it turns out that Bobby Thompson who hit
the home run off Ralph Branca which is detailed in the great beginning of
Underworld may have benefited from secret signals that the Giants used to
let the batter know what pitch the Dodger pitchers were throwing.
also, research shows that apparently Hoover was not at the game that day but
meeting with Eisenhower

i'm sure Mr D would be amused by these developments
