...must to practically anyone who parks in Rio de Janeiro nowadays, pffft came to Lincoln Gordon, 50, U.S. Ambassador to Brazil. The official Cadillac (license: CD3) was parked in a forbidden zone across from the embassy, whereupon a Rio cop breezily whiffled the air from its front tires, preparatory to having it hauled away as part of the city's enthusiastic traffic improvement campaign. A hard-pumping attacheé soon got things rolling again, however, and there was one consolation. Gordon got dozens of sympathetic phone calls from fellow flatties.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Michael Ramsey, 59, when...
Ostensibly inspired by his own experiences with municipal corruption, Flicker soon wraps his hero in red tape and delivers him to a greedy pack of policemen, firemen, city inspectors and hotshot racketeers, all seeking payoffs. The cop is a half-witted movie monster, obviously put together by graft. The fireman is a Negro with an Irish brogue. Behind them all looms the Syndicate's Mr. Big, who may or may not be the local crime commissioner...
