After receiving a tip from a usually reliable informant, an FBI agent tails a suspected gambler and bookmaker for five days. On four of those days, the suspect parks his car near the same apartment house in St. Louis. He is observed, on one occasion, entering a flat that has two phones listed in another person's name. The phone numbers correspond with those that the informant claims are used for taking bets. Is there enough evidence for a magistrate to issue a search warrant...
Faulty Caisson. Laced by giant cross girders and faced with bronze-tinted glass and ebony-colored aluminum, the John Hancock structure tapers dramatically upward in the Chicago skyline like a flat-topped oil derrick. The first 43 floors are designed largely for commercial use. There will be five floors for a bank, a brokerage office and retail shops. Above that come seven floors of parking space-enough for 1,200 autos-and then 28 floors of office space, which will add at least 7% to Chicago's supply. There is a 44th-floor "sky lobby," consisting of a barber...
...Awareness. He has more leisure time now. By choice, Hollander limits himself to about 45 concert dates a year, plus a handful of recording sessions. With his wife Margot, a psychologist who teaches emotionally disturbed children, Hollander lives in a brick-walled flat five flights up in Greenwich Village. There is a hippie commune next door, and Hollander admits to sharing some of its ideals. He is in favor of "opening up," talks about "the new awareness" and believes that pot should be legalized. In a few weeks, he will give the first classical recital at Manhattan's leading...
...writers to "doctor" or, hopefully, save the show. Alexander Cohen, Dear World's producer, used his wife, Hildy Parks, and another librettist, Joe Masteroff (who wrote Cabaret) to fix up his production. Neither of these show doctors will receive program credit for their work, but they will get a flat sum of money, and, if their rewriting is substantial, perhaps a percentage royalty...
...careers. Besides a solid selection of Cézanne's familiar landscapes, Sāo Paulo also has an early study of a Negro model painted in 1866 that shows the young Cézanne was working even then at the plastic shapes, low-keyed values, and flat planes that would eventually supplant the impressionists. Paul Gauguin's stark Self-Portrait: Near to Golgotha illustrates the anguish that the artist felt when he arrived in Tahiti for his final sojourn-ill, unable to sell his canvases, and forced to subsist on borrowed money. Vuillard's fame...
