Regarding the stripper awarded a big pile of cash after being mauled by a tiger in an Ontario safari park (Feb. 2), there's an interesting detail in the case. The car's windows were open at the time of the attack, which they shouldn't have been. Seeking to explain this fact, the couple managed to convince a judge that it happened accidentally after one of the big cats bumped the car. Have you ever heard of a power car window coming down after being "bumped"? Neither have I. -- Patrick Balester, Kansas City, Mo.
