p. 80     "rapt silent swaying".......?? like the dancers in CofL49? 
 
p. 81    [History, Frenesi's personal history] as "fuckers & fuckees"...from the anticommunism days...."betrayal, destructiveness, cowardice and lying"...
"History is like your average movie script"........full of betrayal, destructiveness, cowardice and lying........
 
p. 82 YET, movies HAD NOT ennobled 'the finer drama' of [the makers, the workers, of those movies?] A way of Pynchon to say that History as a movie drama
does not deal with the 'reality' of the people who suffer in History?....
