Colonel Arthur Brill walked into a bar in Manhattan's Grand Central Station, and the bartender, spotting his uniform, announced: "The first drink is on me." Brill was flabbergasted.

A jail commander in San Jose, Calif., who has tested the theory says it works-for a while. Lieut. Paul Becker found that prisoners were less hostile for the first 15 minutes in a cell that had been painted pink. But after 20 minutes, the hostility grew, and after three hours some of the men started to tear the paint off the walls. Conclusion: pink may be best...
