...court prayers for clarification of last term's Ginzburg decision. But two may clarify the doctrine of scienter (to know), the requirement that a smut seller must have "guilty knowledge" that his wares are obscene before he is criminally liable. In a New York case, Times Square Bookstore Clerk Robert Redrup was convicted of selling paperbacks titled Lust Pool and Shame Agent to a plainclothes cop who asked him why he sold such "garbage." Said Redrup: "There's worse stuff around." Redrup argues that his comment failed to prove scienter...
...COMMUTER'S AID. Illinois Central Railroad is testing a Litton computer that handles commuter ticketing. After a clerk punches in the passenger's monthly schedule, the machine calculates the price and issues a magnetic card. On each trip, the commuter slips the card into a turnstile receiver that automatically subtracts one ride from the total and flashes the number of rides remaining, then opens the gate.

The marriage embarrassed both Seretse's despotic uncle, Tribal Regent Tshekedi Khama, and the Labor government of Clement Attlee, which hustled Seretse into an exile that lasted eight years...
...alley behind her home. What must be the largest Negro shoe-shine stand in the state does a brisk business in liquor. A factory worker estimates that there are 20 whiskey houses in a 12-block area around his plant. A hippie who works as a part-time mail clerk for an insurance firm prefers four smaller houses near the sprawling University of Alabama Medical Center -- they have juke boxes. But as for reliable estimates of the total number, one Negro professional man who, like the housewife who does her shopping at the corner grocery, buys most of his booze...
