What aspect of this excellent book did you find to be "speculative",
exactly? I thought it was one of the best researched and sourced works on
the topic that I've ever read (and I've read a lot of them).

Gorightly's book deserves a wide readership. I recommend it to any fans of
Vineland and Inherent Vice.
