the Entertainment as war-trigger: the campaign converges on the auteur's estate — "The fact that the players of…"
The fact that the players of the Academy were to play a provincially-selected team from Québec would have been easier to exploit had the A.F.R. possessed a tennis player of talent and lower extremities.
Context
The political target of the next phase: with only a Read-Only copy, the A.F.R. turn to "known persons associated with the Entertainment" — the "performer" traced to the WYYY radio station and "the Academy of Tennis of the auteur's estate." The plot converges on the Incandenza family: an E.T.A. employee recruited, Luria working the Desert, and the Québec-team exhibition match eyed as a way in. The insurgency's war has narrowed from a continental grievance to a single family and a single school — the political machine now aimed at the auteur's survivors. (The surveillance/infiltration tradecraft and the U.H.I.D. veil are surveillance-disguise's / veil's; landed here is the campaign's convergence on the estate.)
