One could hardly have expected a widely celebrated mogul like Scarsdale Vibe not to attend the World's Columbian Exposition.

"mogul"
A powerful and influential business person. A prick. A monster. A user of mankind for their own gains. A despicable ruin of a person.
"Scarsdale Vibe"
Thomas Pynchon's choice of name to declare, "This character is an evil jerk!" "Scarsdale" would mean a valley full of healed over wounds. And "Vibe" means an emotional state or the feeling given off by a person or place. So the "vibe" most people get from this mogul is that of a valley full of scars. In other words, he's a piece of shit and everybody he meets knows it.
