Well, you puppies have sure been great in ferreting out the LA stuff. The
new Harper&Row is available in paper (20) or hdbnd. (30), and is in 
essence a sort of fancily laid out and illustrated script for USA(1-1V).
The Top Stories stuff you may have trouble finding (I got mine in SLC
Utah at the Cosmic Airplane bookstore while on a recording-peddling jaunt).
It's a pleasant little slim volume, and you will find that a fair amount
of it appears in some form or other in the text of UNITED STATES. These are
generally some slightly older text pieces, which seem to date from the days
when US was a much shorter piece called "Americans on the Move".

If you are indeed hungry for more text stuff, you might want to check out
an anthology of work by various Post-Modernists, called "Individuals:
Post Movement Art in America"...I've forgotten the publisher (it might be 
Dutton), but I am sure that the author/editor is Alan Sonnier. It contains
a text cycle of Laurie Anderson's work from the mid-seventies, called
"For Instants." I find it to be a pretty satisfying piece of writing,
right on the border between Literature/textuality and Performance/storytelling.
This book is out in paper and hardcover, and I'd recommend it right alongside
the "Performance Art" text that Karl mentioned recently as an introduction
to the whole Post-Modern enterprise.
