Backing and filling on Against the Day...and for Master of Petersburg plist readers

[Carvill, John]

<< Well, whatever Norman Stone is, TRP seems to share the expressed view
of 
the Germans (as a Nation-State) re the History of the two world wars.
Examples citing Germany are legion in his books...>>

Yes yes. I wasn't making any big hostorical point. But Norman Stone is
well known, over here, as a right-wing windbag semi-celebrity academic.
And Princip is an odd figure to pick to 'agree with' or use to make a
point. That's all.

The grim facre which was the Feerdinand assassination is well worth
reading about. I still puzzle over why Pynchon excluded it from ATD.
