Referring to: “This is similar to the anachronisms in the first novel, such as the computer that promotes Major Major Major Major.” -- This is not an inconsistency. A “Computer” during WWII referred to a position rather than a machine. In fact, the computers of today are named after their human predecessors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ron g (talk • contribs) 20 April 2006

Sorry, it's a mechanical computer. Of IBM make, even. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.168.57.47 (talk • contribs) 25 April 2006

Wasn't the IBM machine mechanical and electrical? I can't remember... Also, I removed a statement saying that the book is very "Jewish" in viewpoint. TaylorSAllen 00:39, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, it is. The fact that several of the characters are Jewish is mentioned all the time throughout the book. Saying that it is "Jewish in viewpoint" might not be the best way of putting it, but it is information one might certainly argue belongs in the article. Any suggestions on how to phrase it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.68.210.118 (talk) 21:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spoiler?

I think the article should be a bit less revealing. I haven't finished reading this, and I was just looking at the article for other information like on the Catch-22 wiki, and I found the ending in the second paragraph. I would do this, but again, I haven't finished the book.-TheChrisParker (talk) 04:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
