There is no direct cue from the narrator that this the next day, but considering that Doc spent the night tripping, and now Aunt Reet's office is open, it's safe to assume that this is the seventh day of the narrative, Monday, March 30, 1970.<br>

Pynchon has given a clue that helps to locate the narrative in real time: the NBA playoffs. The Eastern Division Semifinals took place on Wednesday, March 25, Friday, March 27, Monday, March 30, Wednesday, April 1 and Friday, April 3, 1970. That makes this day Monday, March 30.

'Doppel' means 'double' in German and might refer here to the 'doppelganger'-motif or shifting identities in a more general way. The theme seems to be prominent in this chapter. The films mentioned on p.115 belong in this context, for example. In ''Black Narcissus'', Kathleen Byron's character, Sister Ruth, can be seen as the dark double of Deborah Kerr's Sister Clodagh. In Robert Wiene's ''Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari'', the somnambulist Cesare commits crimes when he is under the hypnotic spell of the title figure; Caligari himself may be director of a circus attraction or of a psychiatric hospital. In Fritz Lang's ''Metropolis'', a character called Maria is replaced by a robot.
