...contestants had hardly roared away from the starting line when three factory-backed Citroëns were penalized for exceeding Nairobi's posted speed limit of 30 m.p.h. Outside city limits, nature took over. A Peugeot had a headlight demolished by a spleenful buffalo; another car hit a giraffe. Britain's Stirling Moss, essaying a backwoods comeback after the near-fatal accident that forced his retirement from the Grand Prix circuit three years ago, condescended to navigate for Brother-in-Law Erik Carlsson, and lost him cold-amid hot argument-somewhere west of Suez. Stirling's sister...
...Safari churned to a close, faint clanking noises were still heard from 16 cars-some from Europeans desperately attempting repairs. They shouldn't have bothered. In twelve years, no non-African has ever won, and the record may forever be intact. Last week's winners came close to denting it: two Sikh brothers named Joginder and Jaswant Singh, in their secondhand Swedish Volvo with 50,000 miles on the odometer. Of course, they have lived all their lives in Nairobi. When they coasted cozily home, the swinging Singhs were hoisted onto the roof of their car and paraded...
...everything I hated about school. It's become nine-to-five." And sobering. She used to grab last-minute cabs to the theater.

Who is Moses' revolutionary mentor? Marx? Mao Tse-tung? No, it is Albert Camus, who preaches a form of rebellion that never loses sight of individual values. "It's important to recognize in the struggle certain humanitarian values," Moses told Warren...
...with a great rustling of new leaves being turned. Some of the big exhibits have taken steps to shorten their waiting lines by opening earlier, staying open later, taking advance reservations for seats, increasing auditorium seats (General Electric) or speeding the flow with an extra door (Ford). The three-car Glide-a-Ride trains have been rerouted and coded with color to make their destinations less of a mystery, and the $9-an-hour, four-passenger Escorters-famed for their frequent breakdowns-have been eliminated altogether. Admission is up 50? to $2.50, but there are more free shows. Florida...
