p. 842 'notional railway".....Aerenthal.......see http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/boshtml/bos132.htm
  all still related to the Macedonian Question.....Russia very upset at 
Austria-Hungary's proposal......................
   
  p.842 from "they boarded" thru that whole paragraph......all sacred places bereft... and all gone from an "honorable" battlefiled..............
IS THIS A GOOD HAPPENING OR A BAD?.................
   
  Cyprian has been changed..uncontrollable smile, no sarcasm and crying with happiness...............all of his "character armor" as a leading post-Freudian
has called it has dissolved. See below
   
  Reich and Character Armor:
  THE BODY'S OUTWARD APPEARANCE IS AN ACCURATE REFLECTION OF WHAT'S HAPPENING INSIDE, said Reich. There is a basic mistake in idea, "I think,...I am." You can't change your thoughts at a basic level without change in your body, in what you do. 
  Reich wanted a full-body emotional response to life. If you cover yourself up, may deaden pain, but also rob yourself of full joy. 
When someone inhibits an impulse they feel tension. Inhibited libido is tense muscles, sexual charm is relaxed muscles. 
FUNCTIONS OF MUSCULAR ARMOR: check out if interested....
   
   
  Cyprian is one of Pynchon's mature character ideals, I daresay.
