Flanked by a sleazy bar and grill and a dusty antique-and-junk shop, the tawdry tenement at 169 Avenue B on Manhattan's Lower East Side is typical of the area. Decaying plaster and peeling paint festoon its dark blue hall ways, and a flight of creaky wood stairs leads down to an oppressively low-ceilinged cellar that reeks of dog droppings and rancid garbage. A single naked light bulb illuminates the grimy heating pipes, the cockroach-scampered walls, and piles of loose, whitewashed firebricks from the building's boiler. It hardly seems the place...
...Grill. Priests see many reasons for the decline in frequency of confessions. One cause is the emphasis in the postconciliar church on the primacy of conscience-which means that lay Catholics are now far more certain of themselves as to whether or not they have sinned. "I used to consider anger a sin," says one Los Angeles housewife who goes to Communion frequently, although she has not been to confession since Christmas.

...townspeople accept the servant girl's disappearance, but the sister does not. She begins to grill her stepbrother, who hysterically runs to his parents for aid.

...Army in World War II, a Johns Hopkins history professor who in 1946 was chosen to compile the Army's official wartime chronicle, with a staff of 275 sifted through 17,120 tons of records, frequently popping across the hall from his Pentagon office to grill the general "who was there" (Told by one scholar that his work would have no 'perspective, he snapped, "Neither can you interview Caesar"), and produced 51 of 80 planned volumes before retiring in 1958; of a heart attack; in Baltimore...
...could have been a scene from the late '30s, when Goodman's cheerfully crisp, driving style made him the King of Swing and started a new era in American music. Actually, it was Goodman's opening night last week at Manhattan's Rainbow Grill, high in the 70-story RCA Building. Typical of his sentimental sojourns into jazz in recent years, it created a momentary illusion that nothing much had changed. The dancers were mostly of the generation that grew up with him back when cats were hep instead of hip. The tunes were such period...
