. the 3} st person convicted in a driver’s-licence bribery scandal at

a Chicago examining station. According to testimony, Patel did
not even bother to teach and spent all his time with examiners.
Some of Patel’s students were such bad drivers that examiners,
who took $300,000 in bribes in nwo yeors, actually gave Patel his
money back. Some subsequently licensed drivers did not know
how to start a car or engave the transmission; others turned
directly into traffic during the test; and sometimes, terrified
examiners halted the test mid-trip and hitchhiked back to the sta-
tion.

a Q3 :

In June, a school district in Orange County, Calif, was
ordered by a jury to pay $1.4 million to Taylor Steiskal, age 10,
who three years ago fell off his school’s monkey’ bars and broke
his arm, which developed further complications and has required
eight surgeries. Steiskal’s lawyers argued that monkey bars for
children should be no higher than 72 inches off the ground (thus
