'''"It had been an unusual sort of car..."'''<br />
Vond's chopper turns into an (underpowered) car, which then disappears itself. Vond's power is fading out — and he is too. Cool image, but same problem as above. Did Vond (that is, the totalitarian power freaks he fronts for) fade out in 1984? And if not, isn't it a cheat that he does so in the novel?

'''"As he drove, Vato told an old Yurok story ..."'''<br />
Vato's story and Brock Vond's ultimate fate are adaptations of a passage (read it [http://books.google.com/books?id=CrGUkuQx6MYC&lpg=PA422&ots=nnv19rP55u&dq=%22Long%20ago%2C%20Turip%22&pg=PA422#v=onepage&q=%22Long%20ago,%20Turip%22&f=false here]) from ''Yurok Myths''(1976) by A.L. Kroeber. The passage is Kroeber's transcription of a story told to him sometime between 1901 and 1907 by [http://books.google.com/books?id=CrGUkuQx6MYC&lpg=PA419&ots=nnv1anN63x&dq=Captain%20spott%20of%20Rekwoi&pg=PA419#v=onepage&q=Captain%20spott%20of%20Rekwoi&f=false Captain Spott], ferry owner and leader (head man) of the Yurok village Rekwoi.
