Why buy something that even the seller cannot authoritatively trace back to Bobby Thomson's bat? (DeLillo's readers know about Cotter Martin and can make the connection, but his characters can't.)

...couple's Dynamic Energy Resources Inc., a separate $160,000 payment and a golf-club membership. With the pressure on him, say close observers of the proceedings, Brown may be tempted to cut his own deal, and he just may have information to trade on former D.N.C. official MARVIN ROSEN, who was at the controls of the runaway Democratic fund-raising machine during the '96 election, was a lobbyist at the same firm as Brown and was also a Kennedy confidant.
