Factual error: Louise is reading the latest issue of Time magazine which deals with inflation, a hot topic as already addressed earlier in the movie. Not really the latest though, since that issue is from April 1974, 6 years earlier. (00:23:20)
Factual error: It is established early in the movie (Natalie's call) that the money ball event celebration is part of the -first - anniversary of the Valley River Center, the shopping mall where most of the movie is set, with the town of Eugene, Oregon, mentioned explicitly. However, the center opened in 1969, and the movie is set in 1980. The original script was written in 1971, so that line needed an update and slipped by.
