1 'The Avalanche'
2 'Dear Mr Supercomputer'

6 'The Henney Buggy Band'
7 'Saul Bellow'
8 'Carlyle Lake'
9 'Springfield, or Bobby Got a Shadfly Caught in His Hair'
10 'The Mistress Witch From McClure (Or, The Mind That Knows Itself)'
11 'Kaskaskia River'

15 'The Palm Sunday Tornado Hits Crystal Lake'
16 'The Pick-up'
17 'The Perpetual Self, or "What Would Saul Alinsky Do?"'
18 'For Clyde Tombaugh'
19 'Chicago (Multiple Personality Disorder Version)'
20 'Pittsfield'
21 'The Undivided Self (For Eppie and Popo)'
