Mason and Dixon would know all about this radical idea; especially
Dixon because as Quaker his is the first Christian church to give
public forum to women who take full advantage of it, allying
themselves with other oppressed groups, such as, naturally, the
enslaved and indentured, and prostitutes.    As learned men it would
be impossible for our boys to avoid this radical idea. Of course, in
Pynchon's mad comedy, all things are ampersanded, so tht folly and
hypocrisy abound.
