...plate. Cirebon's other treasures can be found in a pair of palaces built centuries ago by its Sultans. These are heaped with kitsch: French chandeliers, Javanese spears and a bizarre chariot comprising the body of an elephant, the head of a dragon, flapping wings and radial tires. The dusty exhibits can be comical, but in little-visited Cirebon, the tourist must be alert to art all around.

...their defense. But Roberts, spurred on by the dead girl's parents, decided to help NHTSA do its job. Through an official, he let the agency know about his discovery, helping galvanize what would become the second largest tire recall in U.S. history, covering Firestone's 15-in. Radial ATX, ATX II and certain Wilderness models. "Once the cat gets out of the bag," says one of Roberts' fellow attorneys, "it's hard to put it back...
