...have served a purpose rewarding from a humane point of view and necessary from a military point of view. The U.S. should protect the government from coups and seal the border by air attacks far from the China border and away from civilians; it must avoid escalation beyond this pint if the policy of playing for time is to be viable...
Boxes & Coffee Grinders. One of Duchamp's newfound admirers, Pop Painter Jasper Johns, likes to remind scoffers of the cartoon caption, "O.K. So he invented fire-but what did he do after that?" In terms of sheer production, Duchamp is but a pint-sized Prometheus. His lifelong catalogue lists only 208 works. He once miniaturized all of his work that he thought worthwhile, and packaged this portable museum in dispatch cases (200 of them were sold). But as his current exhibition at Manhattan's Cordier & Ekstrom gallery* gives ample proof, his work struck the sparks that set others...
...single pint or two of blood that has been kept chilled to 40° F. to keep its red cells from deteriorating might do no harm.

She cabled South Africa, and back by refrigerated air freight came a pint of Mrs. Shabalala's blood. Said Mrs. Shabalala, a darkroom technician in Johannesburg: "The doctor had to talk to me for a long time before I agreed to give blood-it is a procedure entirely foreign to the normal African." At Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital, Dr. Richard Rosenfield alerted a Puerto Rican...
