...yellow or faded blue, and ramshackle brick apartment buildings, of wooden street-corner stalls selling fruits, soft drinks and sweets, and of a few shops that feature more slogans than merchandise. The cafes are eternally packed with workers in shirtsleeves who sip Turkish coffee and pass the time in endless conversation in apparent defiance of the Communist Party's credo of hard work. It is a pedestrian's heaven; Albania is quite possibly the most earless country anywhere. The people are suspicious, curious, unsmiling-testimony to the effectiveness of Party Boss Hoxha's motto: "It is fear...
...surf of the Pacific, the coastline is relatively pristine. But change may be coming: flotsam from paper mills has already fouled Washington's Bellingham Bay, electric companies dream of huge atomic plants cooled by the waters from the ocean, and developers see the region as a site for endless rows of vacation homes...

Brown's enthusiasm for his subjects is unbounded, and On Any Sunday shares with its predecessor a kind of gosh-all-fishhooks fascination with the rituals of sporting risk. But whereas The Endless Summer has marvelous scenery of rolling seas, On Any Sunday offers only roaring motors. For a very long 95 minutes, Brown unreels footage of racers: surging around a track or scrambling cross-country, gunning their motors to assault a peak in Utah...
