While we're on the subject, the original article mentioned "the Nova Police" as appearing in "Buckaroo Banzai"; I've not seen the movie (yet), nor read anything by William Burroughs (yet), but I remember the Nova Police mentioned as something from Burroughs' writing. It sounds like there's More to "Buckaroo Banzai" Than Meets the Eye... - all the more reason to catch it. (P.S. I second your comment on Pynchon.) Guy Harris {seismi,ihnp4,allegra}!rlgvax!guy
