Rumpled and lumbering, with a line of patter as weary as his smile, agent Rupert Anderson looks miscast as a male Mata Hari. Yet here he stands in Mrs. Pell's hallway, romancing the sad beautician in hopes of securing testimony against her husband.

A plate hung above the kitchen door reads GOD BLESS THIS LOUSY APARTMENT...
...complete and thorough tour, says Mrs. Khalil, who, locking her hand on the visitor's arm, pushes him through corridors from section to section. He shakes hands with everybody?every secretary, every group leader. He admires the embroidery done in the sewing room, and stands in awe of the beautician training center, and congratulates everyone on the jams and pickles?all bottled there.
