...seems patently unfair that a victory at the Indianapolis 500 should be worth six figures, while the top prize in last week's East African Safari was only $3,000. Granted, the driver who wrestles a skittish racing car around a track at speeds up to 200 m.p.h. faces certain hazards - but he doesn't have to worry about sailing off a cliff. Or colliding head-on with an elephant. Or being attacked by the spectators...
...their time on just such mundane assignments. They not only patrol plants for corporations but also undertake security checks or theft investigations inside the gates. Other agents, in a longtime arrangement with the Jewelers' Security Alliance, investigate jewel thefts and losses; under an agreement with Eastern race tracks, the Pinks guard thoroughbreds and chase away bookies and purse snatchers.

Director Strick has preserved on his sound track as many of Joyce's words as he could, but most of the time he has used the images as a lecturer uses slides: simply to illustrate what is being said. Often the illustrations are inept. Joyce was half blind, and his Dublin is a city dimly seen but fantastically imagined. Strick's Dublin, however...
