This story is the work of Bruno Ceriotti. Help in putting this together has been provided by Michael Wilhelm, Brian Voorheis, Colin Hill, Michael Parrish, Dave Lee, Gray Newell, Corky Meyers, Bob Cuozzi, Los Angeles Free Press, The Daily Californian, The Daily Gater, and Phil Danner, to whom I'm most grateful.
