1 This piece was first published in 1987 Things have changed somewhat along the northern ramparts of the Strategic Air Command, as elsewhere, in the years since. Presumably even the By-Way Cafe has felt the warm breezes of a New World Order, though I haven’t been back there to check.
For more information about first publication of—and later chronological adjustments to—this piece and the others, see “Notes and Provenance” at the back.
2 It was: Hayduke Lives! (New York: Little, Brown and Company, 1990) I’ve left this essay grounded in the time of its composition, just after Ed’s death in March 1989 For details of first publication, see “Notes and Provenance” at the back.
