You should leave the house right now and find a copy of noir:The Film Noir RPG,
(published by Archon press-which I believe were suppossed to be the original
publishers of UA?)it has a brilliant example of this. 

I agree here, too.  This is how I plan on running UA(when I get a copy- I live
in the Seattle area, in which it seems to be nigh impossible to get anything
more 'fringe' than WW products, GW figures or CCGs- even if you special order
it).
