...start is to float over the grounds in a Swiss cable car. At 115 ft., the ride goes high enough to offer a sweep of the jumble below, but still low enough to make the rider feel the clash of the architecture and the overall dynamic of the vast bazaar. If his timing is lucky, he can almost feel the heat as tawny Samoan youths prance beneath on mats of fire, and only moments later he may be staring down into the whites of the eyes of a dozen Zulus.

The bullet smashed over their heads. The soldier laughed, turned back down the street and shouldered his weapon...
Cosmetic-conscious women have dutifully painted their lips vermilion one season, chalk white the next, applied pancake, powder and rouge with abandon (when Vogue endorsed The Ruddy Look), cut down on foundation bases (when Harper's Bazaar approved of Naked Cheeks). Hair styles have changed so often during the past ten years that even the beauty business began to grow bored with it all, threw in the sponge and recommended wigs. But that was last year's news. This year the eyes have...
