Imipolex G

rich:

>Marguerite Erdmann wears it [Imipolex G] too doesn't she?

She does, on p. 488 where we hear that this exotic costume is made of "some 
black polymer."
But, as David Morris pointed out, on p. 436 Slothrop finds a "white knight, 
molded out of plastic" (Imipolex G). A-and on p. 754 we hear of Gottfried's 
Imipolex shroud that it is "gray-white, mocking, an enemy of color." Black, 
white, gray-white, an enemy of color - which do you want it to be?

Incidentally, the color is not the only ambiguous aspect of Imipolex G. On 
p. 249 we hear that:

"Imipolex G has proved to be nothing more - or less - sinister than a new 
plastic, an aromatic heterocyclic polymer, developed in 1939, years before 
its time, by one L. Jamf for IG Farben."

But on p. 286 it's implied that Imipolex G was used in the experiments on 
Infant Tyrone (who was born around 1918, remember), that is: twenty years 
prior to its invention. And of course, to make matters even worse, on p. 738 
"world-renowned analyst Mickey Wuxtry-Wuxtry" opines that: "There never was 
a Dr. Jamf"!

Curiouser and curiouser....
