p216 "Peterbilt Rig" "VW Bus" "Kenworth" "Econoline van" -- lately
Peterbilt and Kenworth are both PACCAR brands, with common
drivetrains, sort of like Rolls Royce and Bentley. So telling them
apart by sound would be quite the trick. I don't know if they were
quite so similar in the early 70s. VW bus vs Econoline van seems like
an easier call.
p217 "shawm" a medieval woodwind instrument

p218 "L.A. Free Press" the Freep, still in business? the true
alternative to corporate controlled media; how do the personals now
compare with back then?
