Inherent Good: back to Rich's work on Chap 3 COFL49

[Mark Kohut]

So, some dark W.A.S.T.E system from way back had a recent staging alluding
to the assassination (by more elements of that Tristero system) of America's Fisher-King,
so to speak?

And how does that fit into The Courier's Tragedy? Lust, greed, mutilating torture and death in a play from the Jocobean era?

I am reminded of the mysterious black horsemen in Against the Day. Anyone else?

Hollander's take on the three-assassin theory of the Kennedy Assassination seems pretty relevant here. A hint at three shadowy assassins not referred to in the official text (Warren Report). Also, three is the minimum number needed for a V-shaped assault.

By the way, just finished reading the great article Robin posted a while back:

about Pynchon's writings at Boeing.  He made a number of references to the V2 rocket and had a tendency to use triangular bullets, instead of the customary round ones, for his lists.
