Trap Door. The charming Krogers, said the Crown, were the bankers and communicators for the ring. Rummaging through the Krogers' home, British police found $8,000 in cash and travelers' checks. A high-speed radio transmitter was found beneath a trap door in the kitchen, and in a secret cigarette-lighter compartment, a radio transmission schedule. Following the transmission schedule, counter-intelligence agents swiftly locked on to a station that directional locators placed in the vicinity of Moscow. Moscow's transmissions came in faithfully at the times and on the frequencies listed in the Krogers' schedules...
...more than her hero-worshiping pupils can bear. One child proudly uses Yvonne's full married name at every opportunity: "Mrs. Oscar Robertson, may I sharpen my pencil?" "Mrs. Oscar Robertson, may I go to the rest room?" When the Royals are in town, Robertson hunches over the kitchen table and meticulously helps Yvonne keep her school records, takes her dancing (he is accomplished in such steps as the "horse" and the "slop"), spins his records of Fats Domino, and resolutely stays in bed when she goes off to work.

Most Sheridan Avenue families do not want the Mc Kinleys as part of their lives. A petition circulates asking the Negro family to sell and move out. Venal white and colored real estate brokers spread panic...
...Stretch, Sellers plays a "wide boy" (small-time crook) who has a chance to "hoist . . . a coupla million nicker" (steal ?2,000,000) but unfortunately finds himself "in boob" (in jail). Fortunately, Jailbird Sellers inhabits a gilded cage that contains a radio, a wine cellar, a fully equipped kitchen, a cuckoo clock, an amiable tabby. Milk and papers are delivered every morning by the local tradesmen. The turnkey knocks timidly before entering and walks the cat upon request. Morning massage by a cellmate is followed by classes in basket weaving, fretwork and (when the warden looks the other way) safe...
