I've come across this stated in the archives before; is the source an
extra-textual Wolfe interview or the like?  The reason I ask is because it seems
odd that in a whole different cycle of creation you'd still get the Apollo moon
landing whose picture is recognizable as such.  And as someone else mentioned,
how would Severian's box with BOTNS make it through the singularity?

That aside, what's going on with that window into the 20th c. in the botanical
gardens?
