I suppose these could be markers of some kind of larger action
in the book....(If it was John Barth, each one would be a "golden-section"
ratio of pages from the beginning or end
and mark a specific place on Freitag's triangle,
but Barth would tell us so)

the Little Big Horn mural may be another reference to the
boilerplate backdrop to American History (but for once, backwards-ass)

and,  the notion that these
heroic picturings are for today's folk to sit and sip a beer next to...
like the Citizen in _Ulysses_
