...their rates (average fare from one town to the next: 12?) that the maulers refuse to move until every seat is filled-then stop at nothing in order to beat the competition for the passengers waiting in the next town. Ignoring traffic laws, they steam down the center of narrow highways at 60 m.p.h. or more, bully their way through city traffic by such tactics as pulling into the path of oncoming cars, cut across traffic lanes at will to stop for passengers. Yet they are part of the very fabric of society, and last week, when the Lagos city...
...issue is whether the plans provide adequate loading bay facilities. Dietz believes that delivery trucks will not have enough room to maneuver and will therefore slow down traffic on Palmer St. The plans, he maintains, therefore violate a 1962 Cambridge ordinance which says loading facilities must be designed so as not to cause "unreasonable impediment to traffic...
Tragic Crash. On the ground and in the air, U.S. and South Vietnamese forces also kept up their pressure on the Reds in a grim race against the arrival of the monsoon season. Fighter-bombers swarmed daily over North Viet Nam, blasting bridges, shooting up road and rail traffic, igniting petroleum storage tanks and striking within 55 miles of Hanoi.

Over the whole scene reared a 40-ft. hammer and sickle woven from straw and bamboo...
...Post-Op. Houston's normally seething traffic is mercifully light when DeBakey takes off for Methodist Hospital in his Alfa Romeo Sprint (a gift from a grateful Italian patient) at an unpredictable speed and in no particular gear. A man who never walks if he can drive, he gets his exercise by refusing to wait for elevators. He lopes up and down stairs and covers the hospital's labyrinthine corridors at a brisk pace. Professor DeBakey has a handsome, spacious, blue-carpeted office in Baylor's College of Medicine, and rarely uses it. In Methodist Hospital, Surgeon...
