Scan Notes, v3.0: Proofed carefully against DT, italics intact. Many words that typically have special characters in them (such as cafe) were not printed that way in the book while others (such as vis-à-vis) sometimes were and sometimes were not. Everything was reproduced in this file exactly as it appeared in the book, aside from several corrections of obviously transposed letters. In Fear and Loathing at the Super Bowl, at the end of Section II, Thompson indicates that there is going to be a transcript of a discussion between him and several of the Raiders players. This did not appear in the book I scanned, so I checked another different edition -- and it did not appear in there either. You'll have to make it up for yourself if you want to read it.
