In \u003cem\u003eThe Shape of Busing to Come\u003c\/em\u003e are stories of conjecture: what will the VW Bus mean in 25 or 50 years? And in the section, \u003cem\u003eBus Phantasmagoria\u003c\/em\u003e, are tales on the edge, imaginings that could be plots for \u003cem\u003eThe Twilight Zone. \u003c\/em\u003eThe final article \u003cem\u003e\"The Origin of the VW Bus,\"\u003c\/em\u003e reveals details of the inspiration and design of the Type 2, giving credit where it's due. Most of these stories appeared over the years in \u003cem\u003eOld Bus Review\u003c\/em\u003e, some have been published elsewhere, and a few have never been published before. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003cem\u003eTom Brouillette\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForward \u003cem\u003eDavid Eccles\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetter, Best, More Better, and Most Bestest \u003cem\u003eJohn Lago\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchool Colors \u003cem\u003eHoward Pitkow\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpirit of '76 \u003cem\u003eKristen Caven\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy First Drive in a Bus \u003cem\u003eJ.P.
