...sniff out a speed trap; perfecting the technique of hitting the brakes--but not too hard--when you see Smokey zap you with his radar gun; offering a revolutionary excuse to the trooper as he asks for your license and registration--these are all classic features of intercity travel in America...

His occupation, for example, is matchless. Would you believe a travel writer for people who hate to travel? His guidebooks, published under the general heading "The Accidental Tourist," answer such questions as "What restaurants in Tokyo offered Sweet'n'Low? Did Amsterdam have a McDonald's? Did Mexico City have a Taco Bell? Did any place in Rome serve Chef Boyardee ravioli?" Like his unadventurous readers...
