...Stranger Knocks. A woman opens the door. It is raining and she asks him in. He says he wants to rent a cottage like hers, a solitary house by the sea. She offers him supper and a bed for the night. He accepts with apparent gratitude, but when she closes her bedroom door he goes gliding silently from room to room like a weasel on the lurk. The next morning, with many thanks for her hospitality, he leaves to catch a bus, but several hours later he is back. "Missed it," he says with an ingenuous smile. He stays another...
...auditorium of Rindge Technical High School in Cambridge, Mass., is roomy (1,500 seats), cheap to rent ($75 a night) and, all in all, a fine spot for the "thoughtprovoking and controversial speakers" that the students of the Harvard Law School Forum promise to bring before the public.

Members-who include the A. Watson Armours of Lake Forest, Ill., the Henry Fords of Grosse Pointe, Mich...
...Hill-less of a jet-set fairground than it was five years ago, but still a cosmopolitan cluster of airy shareholder houses around a crescent bathing cove that is carefully combed for spiky sea urchins and other subterranean surprises. If their owners are away, visitors may be able to rent the Henry Tiarkses' capacious "cottage" (British Press Lord Esmond Rothermere is currently in residence), or the William Paleys' swimming-pooled pavilion (where both President Kennedy and Princess Margaret have stayed). Or for $65 a day, a couple may have a spacious double bedroom with a balcony...
