...inconspicuous door. And there they were-some 40 men and women packed in a stuffy blacked out room lit by guttering candles. These were clandestine Christians, and the squad of "militant atheists"-one of many similar vigilante bands organized by the Communist youth group. Komsomol-was on the prowl for just such underground believers. The squad leader told what happened in a recent issue of the Communist youth paper, Moskovsky Komsomolets...
Robertson on the prowl is grace itself. He flows down the court, head bobbing, shoulders feinting, every part of his body blended into one rhythmical pattern of deception.

There are also places like the Metropole, where the old-timers of Dixieland stand atop the bar and blare forth to people who come in off Seventh Avenue. Wild Bill Davison, Roy Eldridge, Henry...
...Adele Morales, a lush Peruvian-Spanish painter and actress, fluctuated from serenity in the morning to raging public brawls at night. Usually an affable man, Mailer became morose and belligerent. In Provincetown last summer he was jailed after a fight with police that began when he hailed a prowl car under the impression that it was a taxi. In Birdland, a Manhattan jazz emporium, two weeks ago there was another brush with the law after an argument over a $7.60 check.
