Subject: Question about Gravity's Rainbow

Sorry if this has already been discussed at some point, but I only learned of
it recently.


For those of you who have read Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow, the fourth part of
the book begins with the epigram "What?", attributed to Richard Nixon.


I read somewhere recently that the galleys were changed in the middle of
Watergate to add this quote, perhaps from the tapes that were released.


The early galleys, and in fact the advance reviewer copies, had a quote from
Joni Mitchell's Cactus Tree (the live version she does on Miles of Aisles
still sends chills down my spine.)


Anyway, can anyone shed further light on what the quote was or anything else
on Joni's brush with post-modernist literature?
