...Home, 10 to 5." For pint-sized (4 ft. 10 in.) Experimentalist Kiesler, whose radical departures have landed him more commissions for models than buildings, the World House was the first opportunity in decades to see his continuous-flowing forms grow to lifesize. Inside the entrance, an aluminum-covered ceiling slopes upward toward a two-story interior patio with a white marble island surrounded by a jet-fed black glass pool. A glass-sided stairway leading to the second floor is supported at pinpoints on a white Alabama marble cantilever protruding from a structural steel pillar that swells and tapers...
...unpleasantness involving Ray Bell, Northeastern defenseman who was penalized three times for slashing and interference, there was little else of interest in the Garden late last night. The Harvard Band, consisting of cymbals, a xylophone, a snare drum, a bass drum, a trumpet, a bag of popcorn and a pint of Ballantine's Scotch, seemed to be in evidence, and number eight of Northeastern, a vigorous little forward, appeared to have a bald head...
...Refined. Working against strong competition, the bootlegger keeps his customers happy by offering speedy delivery, discounts, occasional gifts to steady customers, and a flow of such promotional material as cocktail-recipe booklets.

His pint pitchers may make as much as $100 a week, must follow rigid rules: e.g., act refined when you enter good homes, drive carefully to avoid a traffic ticket and possible search, surrender peaceably if you're stopped...
...such an atmosphere, the policeman's lot is an unhappy one. If he stops a recognized pint pitcher without cause and finds whisky, the case can be tossed out of court for lack of a search warrant. But if he goes after a warrant, the pint pitcher disappears. As fast as he raids and closes one package store, another opens. Police liquor details are inadequate; Tulsa attempts to stem a 30,000-case-per-month consumption with a three-man detail. As it was during national Prohibition, Oklahoma public opinion is more with the bootlegger than with the police...
Cranks (by John Cranko; music by John Addison) is a pint-sized English revue with a Jeroboam's worth of frills. Three men and a girl squeal or kneel or sit with their backs to the audience, climb things while they rhyme things, weave about or dance or contort while singing ballads or blues. In a welter of shifting lights, one revue number slithers into the next while the performers act as their own stagehands...
