...explains: "I can communicate, where before I was totally lost." That is good enough for Transit Police Chief Sanford Garelik, who said last week that he was looking for funds for more Rassias-style training in languages besides Spanish that have become native to New York City-including Greek, Italian, Russian and Chinese...
...sublime faith in computers is never rewarded by solid leads. We also get a hired killer who indulges in kinky sex simply because such escapades are an obligatory part of Hollywood packages like this.

For in this eyesore of an American city, there is only one home beyond the bright cars and bars and stars and stores and doors and store 24s--the beach. Daytona's only redeeming feature. Perhaps the only reddeming factor for any American city. The only place in America's officious urban character where the lonely can find the lonely, the troubled can listen to peace, and the hot and frenzied can relax...
