Just saw a funny if ultimately disappointing forthcoming movie with Psy-Ops, the "quivering palm" assassination technique, and the word "bilocational." Might want to check it out.
A-and I don't have either of my IV copies handy. Could a good Samaritan out there please verify the word-perfectness of the following, from the last page?
"...maybe he'd just have to keep driving, down past Long Beach, down through Orange County, and San Diego, and across a border where nobody could tell anymore in the fog who was Mexican, who was Anglo, who was anybody."
Thanks mucho,
