  1. More interesting stories. The 'vanishing hitchhiker' article was a good one; I've no doubt such tales go way way back, though I have to wonder why anyone would stop for the "cackling flannel-clad redhead with hollow eyes" in Massachusetts... Photographs of old London are always entertaining, and sad: so much intriguing and downright good architecture lost. There is a picture of the arch leading to Great Scotland Yard; I have a book on the history of the Metorpolitan Police with an image from an old engraving, showing the arch from the other side, and the back of the police headquarters there.
