BEg2 chapter 13 a few noticings

[Mark Kohut]

I knew a woman who had been a stewardess. There was a name of those who
didn't socialize when
on the ground. Something like lock-click Girls as they went straight to
their rooms.

And, of course, most women, most stewardesses, are not like the shallow
sexual stereotypes Pynchon plays with
in IV....the swinging sixties, of course.

Nuns? Refers also to uniforms, to ministering services? Since the sixties
nuns now live in the real world. And a new
puritanism did sweep America since the sixties, amirite?
