BtZ42/10 The color red

[Mark Kohut]

Speaking of Red, as in communist, Fowler points out, p. 64, that Red is
already Malcolm: the 'conked' hair--processed hair--is a key detail. on
page 68, " 'Red' " is now a communist, and the John Birch cant, especially
the anti-FDR venom is the sort of  thing Slothrop might have been expected
to overhear from his daddy, broderick, one of the novel's inkiest *eminences
noire.:-- *Fowler again.
