    Zurich, like many European cities, has an honorsystem on streetcars. At every stop are theseticket dispensers; put in your coins and get aticket. Noone ever looked at the ticket, as amotorman was only one on board. They said nowand then police checked to see if everyone hadtickets...was a heavy fine if found without one .

    Marvelous Masai dances as seen byPaul and Martha outside of Nai-robi in September 1 982. On theMayers 1 Ranch of 6000 acres inthe Rift Valley. The Masai clingto their old ways, almost totallydependent on their cattle, drink-ing milk and blood, but not eat-ing the cattle . Boys spend theiryouth in solitude herding the cat-tle, and w hen circumcized theyattain adulthood, marry, and jointhe community.
