as Robin has reminded us liberally (pun intended),
OBA's young adulthood took place during a time in which
the phrase "turn on, tune in, drop out" got some attention.
some of us still find that program rather attractive,
compared with, say, darn near everything the increasingly
uninspired mainstream is up to...
maybe the Chums' Progress of separating themselves from
fascism, is like some kind of chemical process -
separating cream from milk, say, or the different layers of
elements in a compound creeping up a litmus paper...
or "vanishing cream" gradually becoming invisible as the
spoon stirs it the last few time

Another pink tab:

and finally -
Dally's first meeting of Kit stays in her mind, though
she loses track of him after their 2nd meeting.
The Kit at Yale section makes no reference to
this meeting - it doesn't register to him, apparently.
So by turns, Kit and Dally, are invisible to each other,
like Randolph and the Chums are to, um, whomever they're
invisible to by his reckoning...
