...David Hartman, as for all those bleary-eyed stars of the morning, last Tuesday may be taken as a typical day. He gets up at 3:45 a.m., showers, dresses and drinks a pint of orange juice. At 4:30 an ABC limousine picks him up for the 30-minute ride from his home in suburban Westchester County to the Good Morning America studio on Manhattan's West 66th Street. Since seconds are precious at that dark hour, Hartman uses the 30 minutes to munch an apple and a banana and read-or "zap through," as he says...
Franklin, who was being hunted by the FBI, was spotted last month selling a pint of blood for $7 in a blood bank in birmingham. Last week he was arrested in Lakeland, Fla. Authorities want to question him about a yearlong series of shootings-in Salt Lake City; Johnstown, PA,; Cincinnati; Indianapolis; Oklahoma and Fort Wayne, Ind.-which claimed the lives of eight black men and two white women and included the wounding of National Urban League President Vernon Jordan in May. All the attacks occured without warning, involved a high powered rifle, and, in four of the assaults...
Harlan (Dennis Lipscomb) thinks he's Bogie: swatting his cigarette lighter open, swigging Seagram's from a pint bottle, talking tough to the little lady. He's not.

She's a housewife who cannot keep house, and whose only escape from her drab apartment...
...famed botanist William Seal, a pioneer in the development of high-yield corn hybrids, began a bizarre experiment. He buried 20 pint-size bottles, each containing 1,000 seeds of 20 weed varieties, near his lab in East Lansing, Mich. His aim, in that age before weedkillers: to find out how long plowed-under seeds could survive, and thus, how long fields needed to be left fallow, to ensure a weed-free crop when replanted...
...aside 25? or so from his allowance each week? Bankers blush at the thought that they might be thwarting grade-school thrift, and some have moved to exempt children from the new fees. New York's Manufacturers Hanover, for example, waives for minors the $1 quarterly charge on pint-size accounts. But if the pressure on banks to streamline their operations continues to grow, the kids, and many of their on-the-brink elders, may find that a piggy bank is the best they...
