...year dispensing justice. The laws themselves are often unfair-or unenforceable. Speed limits that are set too low allow an officer to pick and choose when he should arrest someone. One of the greatest bluffs in U.S. traffic law is the New York City parking ordinance. Stern-looking green tickets, carrying a $15 fine, are issued by the hip-pocketful every day. At the moment, there are more than 900,000 outstanding tickets that have not been paid. The reason: before the clerk of court will issue a warrant for the car owner's arrest, he must have positive...
Also symbolic are the four colors of Zambia's flag: green is for agriculture, orange for copper, red for the blood spilled in the struggle for freedom, and black for the people. "And what holds it up?" asks a cynical European. "A white flagpole." Such remarks are typical of many of Zambia's 77,000 whites, on whom the country depends to keep its copper mines humming and its commerce thriving. Some still resent a black government in a land so long under white rule. Kaunda shrugs off the attitude. Far from wanting to drive the whites...
...good roads also have a cost in monotony. The antiseptic highway stretches on and on and on. The green-and-white signs are the same.

It opens in a weird, cubistic New York nightclub, where Ursula is bumping, grinding and stripping down to her glittering silver and green bikini. A Chinese brandishing a .45 automatic rushes at her, but Ursula is the fastest bra in town. Bang-bang, she has fired her twin pistols, whose small round muzzles protrude from her brassiere like iron nipples. As the Chinese slumps, Ursula coolly bends her head to blow the smoke...
...town's oldest car for its infield entrance. Jim Nabors, trained as an operatic baritone before he took on the title role in Gomer Pyle, cost the gate an estimated 10% by trying to sing classical arias at the Shelby County (Iowa) Fair in July. And Lorne Green's Shakespearean parody of one of his own Bonanza scripts-"That which we call a Hoss by any other name would smell as sweet"-fell prairie-flat at the Illinois State Fair last month...
