Misc. In which Pynchon appears

[Mark Kohut]

>From the new bio of Donald Barthelme called The Hiding Man:

the secret White house tape of June 23, 1972 is the one where
Nixon asked the CIA to block investigations of Howard Hunt
so he wouldn't reveal the 'seamy things he had done" for the President
during the Watergate affair".

"Watergate sure did get Don revved up," wrote Thomas Pynchon....
Pynchon said that Nixon had "mutated into a desperate and impersonal force, no longer your traditionally human-type President, but now some faceless subgod of folly."          p.372
