A minor character in this story is Sandor Rojas, an ex-Hungarian freedom fighter who "plays spit in the ocean" with his three friends, and stays awake on Heidseck and benzedrine pills. The textbook Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is ironically thrown at a character's head during an argument with his wife about "communication theory," and a group of Navy sailors barge in thinking they're at a brothel.
