...unlawful." The only nightclub in the world roomy enough to fly such a banner is improbably located on the tawrdry, whiffy flatlands near the southernmost tip of Brooklyn. The Town & Country, sometimes referred to as "Miami Beach in Flatbush," is a 45-minute drive and a $6 cab fare from Manhattan, but it fields a line of first-class talent most clubs would hock their silverware to buy. Its big neon bill of fare regularly blazons such names as Harry Belafonte, Jerry Lewis, Sophie Tucker, Milton Berle, Tony Bennett. Last week, even with an ailing (laryngitis) Judy Garland...

Jigsaw Saga. At last, convinced that he was a phony, the university hospitals' doctors sent Lamphere packing with a bus ticket to Chicago, gave him money out of their own pockets for cab fare to the terminal. He never got there, but stayed drunk in a downtown hotel, was soon back at the hospital, coughing blood and fevered (103°), pleading for readmission. He won it. After a few days he went berserk, terrorized the ward, smashed furniture and equipment, gashed his thigh with scissors. After more such self-inflicted wounds, Lamphere was committed to a mental hospital...
