p.73 Flash had been Outlaw, now, no second chances to be 'part of the structure of governance'.
 
       "nobody else around"--i.e "In the Midnight Hour"
 
p.73 Frenesi lived all of her formative years aware of a list of fake names....she hated and feared it....She enacted what she hated and feared . Once this societal 'betrayal' had entered the society, then some were doomed to enact it? Honesty was lost in the culture. ? 
 
 This personal betrayal is linked to TRPs themes of spying, surveillance, gov't lies? 
 
TRP points to the McCarthy 50s, but he goes further--- to the origins of Hollywood? That fabricating 'dream factory".....links up with AtD sections here, it seems. By Vineland America, all of the fake "reality" is permeated by the movie/TV falseness.....??
