     Jim, the gentleman caller, remembers that he used to refer
     to the self-conscious, shy and crippled Amanda (or is it
     Amanda's daughter...?) as "Blue Roses" in high school
     when she had been out sick for a while and he misheard
     her explain that she'd had Pleurosis.

     I didn't see any really self-evident connections in the
     text, and despite screwing up the names here, I do know
     the play really well.  
     The only similarity - probably coincidence, but then in
     literary criticism, authors' intent doesn't really matter
     does it? - is that Blue Roses is essentially a fond code
     name for a debilitating disease.  A mask for a "cancer"
     eating away from the inside out.

     This could be how Gordon Cole sees the Owls, and there
     are certainly masks involved.


                 Shortly  thereafter, the health of  Annie
                 Blackburn still in question, the behavior
                 of Special Agent  Dale Cooper was noticed
                 __________________________to have changed.
