  <description><![CDATA[  Heading home from work yesterday, I ran five red lights and three stop signs, went the wrong way down a one-way street, and took a left across two lanes of oncoming traffic. My excuse: I was on a bike.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2232555/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

Today we're more inclined to express this equation with words like mobility and accessibility, but the spirit's the same: The flow of people and goods ("traffic and all that it implies," per Kipling) makes the world hum.

  <description><![CDATA[  What do Timothy McVeigh, Ted Bundy, David "Son of Sam" Berkowitz, and 9/11 ring-leader Mohammed Atta have in common? They're all murderers, yes, but another curious detail uniting them is that they were all also brought to police attention by "routine" traffic violations.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2226509/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>
