Can "and" be used like this?

0 "Four huge theme parks lie before us, 01b00and02b00 many lesser diversions. "02br
02br
00(Source: 05000) 02br
02br
00Can the sentence also be written this way?02br
00Four huge theme parks 01b00and02b00 many lesser diversions lie before us.02br
02br
00What confuses me is that "many lesser diversions" being in a seemingly incomplete sentence. Is this for sentence variety?02br
02br
00Thanks for any help. 0510240hrefhttp://www.economist.com/daily/diary/displaystory.cfm?story_id=891213511id1
