...have mixed feelings about the Block's gradual demise. City Council President William D. Schaefer has supported its continuance. But Police Commissioner Donald Pomerleau claims to have dissuaded Schaefer. "I told him," says Pomerleau, "that there is the most base, gross conduct over there and there is no place for the Block anywhere in the city of Baltimore." Investigations of organized crime in the city have uncovered a $10 million-a-year numbers empire operating out of the Block and linked several club owners to nationwide betting syndicates. These revelations have disillusioned many Baltimoreans who had previously opposed...

...model for "Manderley," the fantastic estate in Rebecca, Novelist Daphne du Maurier chose a place she had loved ever since she was a child. It was "Men-abilly"-a sprawling, gray stone mansion standing on some 400 acres on the coast of Cornwall. Miss du Maurier finally rented it in 1943, five years after writing Rebecca, and there she has lived among the rhododendrons and cherry trees.
