...FIREMEN'S BALL. Director Milos Forman (Loves of a Blonde) has fashioned a frothy, funny parody-fable of Communist bureaucracy from a slight anecdote about a group of firemen who stage a party in honor of their retiring chief...

Though some states ban sales to the public of items like tear gas, the industry generally operates under its own self-imposed restraints. The police market, after all, is likely to boom for quite some time.
