It seems like so much of Pynchon's work is about living on both sides  
of some kind of line.   In GR Slothrop crosses some border lines.   
Also in AtD,  Kit and Lake live on both sides of their lines (Kit with  
Vibe and Lake with Deuce).    In Vineland  Frenesi lives on both sides  
of a kind of law and order line.   In IV Doc seems to live on both  
sides of that same kind of law and order line.   Pynchon's point?    
"Single up all the lines!"
