"I don't want to age badly, to be sad because I have a wrinkle or a white hair. So at 40 I am going...
STILL, IN PRINCIPLE, this criteria could be extended to any citizen who decided to take up an observer's position in order to "enlarge his intellectual viewpoint."

...famous chase sequence in the movie The French Connection. But as used in a novel like The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, the subway car as dramatic conveyance produces the sinking, shrinking feeling of a subgenre in decline. Once we roared across frontiers on the Orient Express; now we lurch along on a Lexington Avenue local...
