BE Chap 14. misc.

[Mark Kohut]

NYC, the international city. Another country of folk appear.
More ethnic stereotyping played with.
Secret bandwidth accumulation. Why?

wonderful riff on "Volare"....Maxine's?

..give in multiples of 18......"Jewish code? 18 computes to *chai *or life."
"Same thing with pussy!"....    VERY NICE, I say.....

18 always reminds me of *Catch-22, *of which the working title was
*Catch-18*
until cataloging time when S & S discovered Leon Uris's* Mila 18* was
coming out earlier.
(was he doing "Jewish code" with that title?)

Lester's look: on borrowed time....a heavy vanishes halfway down the block.
Leaving an empty orchestra playing to an empty room in
Lucky 18......

Premonition and more 'ghosts'.....
