YES! I think to link Yoyodyne with Benny's yo-yoing is real smart. Benny
gets nowhere in V
as he yo-yos those Grand Central subway cars. P states this and it is
purposeful I say.
(Some old-fashioned type readers of V charged that "the character(s) never
develop"---which I
think is P's point, one of them anyway.
