I don't know whether I should post lookups one-at-a-time for better  
threading, or by the bunch.

I know I should start tomorrow, but here is some grist for the mill,  
in case I sleep in.


p207: "hippiphanies" reminds me of James Joyce emphasis on literary  
epiphanies. As I recall, his shtick about this is best recounted in  
the earlier version of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, titled  
Stephen Hero.


p208: "Code 7" -- lunch break


p208: "Ralph's shopping bag" -- I seem to recall Johnny Carson talking  
a lot about Ralph's Market, is this the same one that was on Sunset?


p208: "Cielo Drive" -- 10050 to be precise, scene of one of the Manson  
family murders.

p209: "What's in 'em lingonberries, Bigfoot?" I expected to find some  
intoxicating history, but I imagine that the choice of these mountain  
cranberries, or foxberries, is the fact that popular as they are up  
north, they remain for the most part a  wild, not cultivated, food.

p210: "Brother Noguchi's shop" -- the L.A. County Coroner's office.  
Thomas Noguchi is the infamous "coroner to the stars," having  
autopsied Marilyn Monroe, Robert Kennedy, and Manson family murder  
victim Sharon Tate.
