Abstract
By appealing to the distinction between appearances and reality, to the conditions of observation, to K, and to special reasons, members may resolve reality disjunctures between accounts. These four devices and their corollaries are found in use in written attempts by third parties to reconcile conflicting versions of what happened in certain incidents on Telegraph Avenue in September, 1968. Hart's concept of defeasibility and the work in ethnomethodology of Pollner and others provide the theoretical context. The paper's aim is to explicate members' methods of practical reasoning for crediting and discrediting truth-claims.
