IVIV Golden Fang, KMT, drugs

[Doug Millison]

Excellent!  The Coy-McCoy connection slipped right past me in my  
Activnet groove even as I typed the very words…difficult to imagine  
that Pynchon didn't intend that link, although maybe he just typed it  
out in his groove, too, but the McCoy heroin book has legendary  
status. I possess _The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the  
Global Drug Trade_, a fat paper-bound  "completely revised & expanded  
edition of _The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia_ " published by  
Lawrence Hill Books, Brooklyn 1991. The earlier book was published in  
1972.

…now on a different continent in the music making machine:  highly  
recommended "Below the Bassline" by Ernest Ranglin.
