Not long ago, a scooter cop and a prowl-car team simultaneously got word of a burglary; riding on sidewalks, the scooter man beat the car by seven minutes and nabbed the burglar...
...shadow of a robust, rich and famous father: Sir Malcolm Campbell, gentleman sportsman, holder of nine world land-speed records and three water-speed records, knighted by King George V. Even after Sir Malcolm died, in his bed at 64, the shadow remained. Donald sought out mediums, trying to contact his father-sometimes, he claimed, with success: "There he was, laughing uproariously as he called me 'a complete clot...
