"Some faceless subgod of folly"

[Dave Monroe]

"'Watergate sure did get [Don] revved up,' wrote Thomas Pynchon, who
met Don through Kirk and Faith Sale. By 1972, Pynchon said, Nixon had
'mutated into a desperate and impersonal force, no longer your
traditional human-type President, but now some faceless subgod of
folly.'"
