He declined, mostly because he was homesick; but I can't help thinking that he had sensed the problems that were going to crop up. For all that Pynchon's *Gravity's Rainbow* is "really" about America in the 1960's and 1970's, its picture of Occupied Germany is still remarkably accurate... Germany from 1945 to 1947, before the creation of the new Federal Republic, was one of those times and places where everything was in flux, all rules were in abeyance, and events could have gone in any direction at all.
