(except those in a small section downtown) run in
a straight line. They all turn and twist and with
the heavy traffic on such narrow streets it is a wonder
that half the peasants aren't killed each year-there
are remarkably few accidents, and pedestrians do
not have right of way. The cars honk at every inter-
section to let any approaching car or pedestrian know
that they are coming. The taxis honk at every likely-
looking prospect to let him know a taxi is coming
his way. There are traffic cops at about a half dozen
corners and it is remarkable how they keep traffic
progressing just by gestures.
 We haven't seen a newspaper since we moved
into our house (except a glance at last Saturday's
paper from Miami while at the Embassy last week),
so we hardly know what is going on. We haven't
much time to listen to the radio, and the only stations
on which we get good reception are Haitian and
French. (We also get Dominican Republic stations
fairly well in Spanish.)
 Had quite an experience today. A taxi driver
 tried to overcharge us and wouldn't give me the
 right change back. So I told him to take us down
 to the police station (we were in the courtyard of
 the American Embassy), so he acted like he was
 going to and drove us out of the Embassy grounds.
 But he stopped at the gate to argue with us and to
 try to get a man nearby to agree with him. But the
 man smiled because he knew we were right. I just
 said, "Take us to the police station," and he wouldn't
 because he knew that his license would be revoked
 if the police caught him overcharging. He swore at
 us and gave us the proper change. In a way, we
 look at it as a joke, but such instances which almost
 every tourist experiences make him never want to
 return to Haiti. The rates are set by law, but they
 still try to overcharge a foreigner. It is all just part
