Here is what I found on a blog before I bought them:
>Now, here are those references, with page >numbers:
>23: "After the first evening that they played, >the students realized that they had better not >play for their usual stakes of quarters. Fred had >cleaned them out. If it had been strip poker, >Fred would have owned a lot of clothes much >too large for himself."
Now he still plays poker, but there is no strip poker reference.
>165: "Fred and Jack had finished their Sunday >afternoon jog. A couple of hours were enough >for their first run together. They passed the >other eleven recruits who were in the rec hall >into their third hour of watching reruns of "As >the Girl Churns" on television."
Says "I Love Shopping" instead of "As the Girl Churns"
>165: "This truck was carrying grass . . . the >lawn kind. Maybe that's why it was operating >during the daytime."
Stays the same.
>167: "The Colonel moved several six-pound >bags of white powder from the top of his desk >into a desk drawer and came right to the point, >"I hear that you know something about math >and measurements. Is that true?""
It is now jewels instead of white powder.
>250: "An empty beer can flew out of the >window and in several seconds it was quiet >again."
Stayed the same.
>272: "Jack rang the bell at the Colonel's >mansion and they were greeted by the maid >with her breathy voice, "Hi boys!" This use of >"boys" seemed strange to Jack since he was 22 >years old and she seemed about six years >younger than he.
It now is a "robot-maid" (still says "breathy voice) and is 20 years younger (so the maid is 2).
>273: There were chemistry books which >surprised the chaplain. They were mostly lab >manuals telling how to make certain, possibly >illicit, chemicals and how to avoid having the >lab explode when dealing with volatile liquids >such as ascetone. He remembered that when >the maid had brought them to the library they >had passed a steel-plated door with "M-Lab" >painted on the door. He knew it didn't stand for >Methodist Lab."
Not there at all.
