P. 19 in Harper and Row paperback (Perennial Library) during O's meeting
with Roseman (near end of chapter 1).

"They often went to the same group therapy sessions, in a carpool with a
photographer from Palo Alto . . . ."

I pick Menlo Park as the model because the two cities abutt and living in 
one
is practically like living in the other. P.A. is of course better known.

Also I like the association of Menlo Park with the famous VA Hospital LSD,
etc, experients of a few years earlier.
