...third encounter may serve to an- swer the question whether I really believe in palmistry. In Hyannis last July I met a waitress named Janice, aged 47, who was particularly eager to have her palm read. I soon found out why: the life line on her right hand, and on her left, stopped abruptly at the age of 50. I was astonished, for this occurs in about one case out of a thousand. I asked her how her health was, and she replied, "It's all right." Not contented, I pursued further: "Do you have any trouble with your health...

A meek little short-order cook (Dudley Moore) hankers inarticulately after the waitress (Eleanor Bron) in a London greasy spoon.

Police in Erie, Pa., broke up a sidewalk crap game among Negro youths-and the result was two days of stonings and stickwork. Officials in Cincinnati, Tampa and Buffalo, where ghetto dwellers rampaged earlier this summer, nervously sought ways to avert fresh flare...
...concert pianist who pays him to stay away, the drifter composes pleasant little themes for the ladies he sleeps with-a slow-witted waitress, a sloe-eyed French chanteuse (Sadja Marr). The singer has a little boy who may be Alan's and who, like the drifter, improvises every moment as it comes. In the end, Alan tries to create a theme for the child, and finds his fingers inarticulate. It proves to be the one relationship that he cannot end with "Ciao, baby...
