Just got Peter and Daivd's book. What amazing work from  a pair of
teenagers. On his FB, regarding Rodney King, Peter says

I happened to be in Miami the night of the verdict and a friend called me
and said why aren't you in Los Angeles, and I turned on the television, and
saw the city in flames. I took a 5am flight from Miami to Los Angeles and
worked around the clock for the next four days in very difficult
conditions. One detail I will always remember was that I had 4 Hertz rental
cars trashed during that assignment, by angry crowds or simple minor
traffic accidents related to the riots, and each time I would pull into the
Hertz lot with my hobbled or damaged car, Hertz would give me a new one.
must have been "Interesting" time.
