I had the utmost feeling that if one searched and replaced every
"Anarchist" for "Terrorist" we would have in many places (I am, like, on
p 130 -- Pynchon's not an easy read for a foreigner!) something similar
to current idiom of American propaganda. Just a very easy and convenient
label for everyone evil (or "evil").

This is not to involve TRP in politics, because I believe this is just
the ideology and propaganda of Our Glorious Leaders.
