FRONT PAGE: "Saudi Racers Roar All Night, Fueled by Boredom," by Robert F. Worth, New York Times, 8 March 2009.

Fascinating article on Saudi Arabia's "vast and underemployed generation of young people" turning to "these reckless night battles" that serve as a "collective scream of frustration."

Very well written.
