[Doug Millison]

"Might Jack have kept it [the harp] from falling?"

I would answer No, based on what the novel tells us in its third sentence,
"It is too late" and in its fourth sentence:  "[...] it's all theater"  and
other evidence in the novel. The System killed JFK and is killing/will kill
the rest of us, too - all we can do is wait for the final rockets to fall.
  See Gravity's Rainbow, Domination and Freedom by Luc Herman and Steven
Weisenburger for an excellent discussion of this and other possibly
optimistic readings of GR
