In this second installment of our series detailing the connections between Thomas Pynchon's "California Trilogy" and the Manson Family, Frankie and Geena move away from Manson and into the Cielo Drive house, where we sort through Tom O'Neill's criss-crossing stories of Reeve Whitson, Charles Tacot, and Lt. Col. Paul Tate, and try to add more to his checkered telling of these stories. From there, we move into Paul Tate's connections to cutting-edge information technology, Curtis LeMay, John K Singlaub, and the shadowy plots of the American Security Council, and the LAPD's PDID. Join us and find out what all of this and more means in relation to Doc Sportello and Zoyd Wheeler's bad trips. Trigger warning time stamp: 0:12:53 - 0:14:27 & 0:22:50 - 0:25:30.
