A way to Group Read Mason & Dixon, so to speak.

[Monte Davis]

Different notes (or none) for different foax. As so often cited, "A former
self is a fool, an insufferable ass, but he’s still human, you’d no more
turn him out than you’d turn out any other kind of cripple, would you?”
(Enzian, GR 662)

archive -- poor clunky threading and all -- beginning at

http://waste.org/mail/?list=pynchon-l&month=9706&msg=15879&sort=date

specific details and pictures of astrolabes and frizzen flints:

Neither link is intended to suggest that this reading shouldn't cover the
same ground, wrestle with the same points, etc., or that it should be
annotated, footnoted  and scholarly -- only that there are times when a
link can both be quicker and go deeper than typing.
