This reminds me of the Tag line from Ken Kesey's excellent short story, Demon Box, "Entropy is only a problem in a closed system." Has anyone here also read the whole collection by the same name and especially The Day Superman Died - about Neal Cassady? Platt, you amazing, ever-spouting fount of Lila quotations you, where does Pirsig mention Cassady? I remember, but I don't remember exactly what he said and I can't find Lila to save my soul.
