Boston police must not only conduct an annual door-to-door census, a chore that consumes ten weeks, but also have to issue permits for dogs, guns, private detectives, itinerant musicians, pawnbrokers, junk dealers, new-and used-car dealers, and hackney cabs. In Los Angeles, policemen going on duty must pause for a reading of schoolchildren's essays on the glories of the L.A.P.D.
