'''Labor produces all wealth. Wealth belongs to the producer thereof.'''<br>
Reviewers of ATD have quoted this line relentlessly, but Pynchon did not make it up. It comes from authentic miner's union literature of the time. [http://laborarts.org/collections/item.cfm?itemid=178]
'''Republicans'''<br>
William McKinley was elected in 1896 on the Republican ticket, defeating Democrat William Jennings Bryan, ushering in a chain of Republican Presidents until Woodrow Wilson was elected in 1912. Obviously, could also be interpreted as a jab at the current Republican Party.
