Loose Dirt: Trivia, Quotes and Marginalia
Undignified Deaths
In Phnom Penh in October, a policeman shot a tipsy
motorist to death at a traffic stop to prevent him from exposing himself to an
officer; which is considered a grave insult there. And a 30-year-old repo
man and a 19-year-old man behind on car payments killed each other in a gun
battle in Miami in February; the car in question was a 1987 Chevrolet Caprice.
