...crash can recover a proportionate percentage of his losses. In the other 44 states, unless the victim can prove that the policyholder was entirely at fault-and that he himself was utterly blameless-the company need not pay him a cent. Indeed, the worse the accident-a ten-car chain collision, for example-the more difficult it usually is to pin sole blame on one driver and reimburse anyone. If a driver has a heart attack and his car mounts a curb, hitting ten pedestrians, who is at fault? No one. Who gets paid...

The next morning, the FAR issued a brief bulletin, claiming credit for the murders of Webber and Munro, and posthumously congratulating Castillo as the triggerman who had "brought to justice the Yanqui officers who were teaching tactics to the Guatemalan army for its war against the people...
Rest assured, said the London insurance broker, "any ordinary boy of this age would have great difficulty in getting insurance coverage for a car like this." As it was, the underwriters were only too honored to cover Prince Charles, 19, all proper and legal-like as the owner of his first car, a six-cylinder, 127-m.p.h. MGC-GT. The car cost $3,120-out of the Prince's own pocket-and boasts such embellishments as an electrically controlled aerial and a leather-covered steering wheel. It has a bull horn that has already caused mumbles in the Noise...
