set and setting, as Dr. Tim always liked to say...
From WIKI: Set and setting describes the context for psychoactive and particularly psychedelic drug experiences: one's mindset and the setting in which the user has the experience.

The Fatty Arbuckle Story

Here are all the "story of" films from the "BPX cable channel, which airs film biographies exclusively" (page 93) I could find. They often come, by the way, with disparaging remarks about Horst. Is Pynchon telling us something about Horst, the Biography Channel, film biographies and the people who watch them, perhaps even, Journey into the Mind of P and those who have seen it, etc?

page 94: Owen Wilson as Jack Nicklaus, Hugh Grant in The Phil Mickelson Story
page 94: Christopher Walken, starring in The Chi Chi Rodriguez Story
page 374: Anthony Hopkins in The Mikhail Baryshnikov Story
page 433: Ben Stiller in The Fred MacMurray Story
page 435: Alec Baldwin in The Ray Milland Story
page 466: The Anton Chekhov Story, starring Edward Norton, with Peter Sarsgaard as Stanislavski
Page 476: Leonardo DiCaprio in “The Fatty Arbuckle Story”

In the book, all the film titles were italicized except the last one, which had quotation marks. Just a slip of the pen?
