    "Memo to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev: next time you plunge into a crowd, don't forget to park your car first.

Burly bodyguards swiftly came to his aid and managed to stop the car, a big black Mercedes, before it bore down on the gasping crowd Saturday in Kazan, a city 720 km (450 miles) east of Moscow."
