...drive a Fiat, and I live at a much slower pace. I spend lots of idle hours on lonely roads wondering when the tow truck will come, or sitting at the repair shop waiting for the mechanic to explain why the door handle fell off, the clutch cable snapped, and the horn doesn't work on a car that's only three months...
...says a young visitor from New York-and indeed Morocco is a hashhead's delight. Kif, raw leaf marijuana, is openly (although illegally) sold for $4.50 a pound and widely smoked in public in clay pipes that can be bought for 100 a dozen in any souk, or shop.

Its layout is dreary and unimaginative. Right now, residents have to bus their kids to nearby schools and shop in a make-do supermarket on the bottom floor of a garage. Not a spadeful of dirt has yet been turned on a new subway line that will connect the project directly with New York City, of which it is supposed to be a vital part. Even worse, except...
