Lost revenue for highway infrastructure: maintenance and construction. Ouch.

"Discovering" Lolita
From The Real Lolita: The Kidnapping of Sally Horner and the Novel That Scandalized The World, Sarah Weinman, c. 2018, p. 218:
Peter Welding was a young freelance reporter ... most for music magazines ... was born in 1935, two years earlier than Sally Horner ... remembered reading of Sally's plight in his local newspapers, the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Evening Bulletin ... decided to examine parallels between between Sally's story and Lolita.
The results were published in an unusual venue: the men's magazine Nugget, racier than Esquire or GQ but more prudent than Playboy. ... Nugget's editor at the time was Seymour Krim, who was affiliated with the Beat Generation, hanging around with Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Neal Cassady, though unlike them, he never wrote poetry or fiction.
Krim also embraced the New Journalism ethos while working at the New York Herald Tribune with future stars Tom Wolfe, Jimmy Breslin, James Baldwin, Otto Preminger, William Saroyan, Chester Himes, and Paddy Chayefsky -- that was just in 1963.
