...need rules and curfews to help order their lives; most girls they say, would live "discreetly," keep reasonable hours, and continue to do their course work conscientiously under any system of sign-outs. Nor will rules keep girls safe. Cliffies are warned during Orientation Week that the fiends who haunt Garden Street and the Common will indiscriminately, attack any skirted figure on an English bike any time after dark, whether or not she's escorted, whether or not she's signed...
Walls & Lampposts. The mechanics of betting are a snap. All it takes is a scribbled note or a phone call to any of the thousands of bicheiros who haunt the street corners, shops and offices of every city and are easily identified by their sunglasses and cigars. Drawings are usually held at 2 p.m. in local bicho headquarters, and the winning numbers are immediately dispatched by taxi and bicycle, scribbled in chalk on designated walls and lampposts. So clogged do phone lines become after each drawing that telephone company executives call it "the bicho hour...

His foster parents, owners of a nursing home, had given him $300 a month since he was 16, and furnished him with his own cottage, which his mother dutifully cleaned after...
...great bohemians, Giacometti loved to haunt cafes until late at night. His stingy 12-ft. by 15-ft. studio, lit by a dusty studio window and bare light bulbs, heated by a potbellied stove, was strewn with butts of cigarettes that he chimneyed at the rate of three or four packs a day. Its grimy floor was for Giacometti a battlefield. He once made a model sit in the same pose for years in a vain attempt to capture her likeness. He traveled little except for trips to Stampa, Switzerland, at Christmas and New Year...
