2149<\/b> Bitter Brigitte<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cI hate humanity. I am allergic to it. I see no one. I don\u2019t go out. I am disgusted with everything. Men are beasts, and even beasts don\u2019t behave like them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Those are the words of actress Brigitte Bardot, sex symbol of the 1950\u2019s and 1960\u2019s. In those years she made the headlines with her three marriages, a series of lovers, and \u201ca sun-kissed life on the French Riviera.\u201d She plans to quit the movie world and retire to a farm. <\/p>\n
2150<\/b> Hatred In America<\/b><\/p>\n
John J. Harrington, national president of the Fraternal Order of Police and a 27-year veteran of the Philadelphia police force, says, \u201cThere is hatred today in this country that\u2019s growing and growing. Near where I live a man was walking to church, and two men came up behind him and cut his throat. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnother man was just standing on a street corner when a bunch of kids came along. They said. \u201cLet\u2019s give it to him,\u201d and they killed him. And a little girl was walking up the street from where I live, and a boy just came along and stabbed her. All these things seem to happen for no reason at all\u2014just hatred.\u201d<\/p>\n

2151<\/b> The Spite House<\/b><\/p>\n
Joseph Richardson, a New York millionaire lived and died in a house only five feet wide. It was called the \u201cSpite House,\u201d and it deserved its name. Owning the narrow lot of land on which it was built, Mr. Richardson wished to sell it to the neighboring property owners. They would not pay him what he asked, and so he put up this house, which disfigured the block\u2014and then condemned himself to a life of discomfort in it. <\/p>\n

2152<\/b> The Devil\u2019s Lane<\/b><\/p>\n
Two of our neighbors had a falling-out over the boundary line fence between their farms. Feelings became so intense that each built his own fence. These fences were built about four feet apart. Not only were they added expenses, but neither of the neighbors had the use of the four-foot strip of land\u2014it rightfully belonged to neither of them. For lack of a better name, this four-foot strip was called \u201cThe Devil\u2019s Lane.\u201d I guess it was rightly named because Old Beelzebub did take control of it. At least he controlled the men involved. <\/p>\n

2156<\/b> Bernini\u2019s Fountain<\/b><\/p>\n
In the city of Rome stands Gian Lorenzo Bernini\u2019s marvelous Fountain of Rivers. History tells us however, that Bernini despised Francisco Borromini, the designer of the Church of St. Agnes, which is opposite the fountain. \u201cAs a deliberate insult to Borromini, sculptor Bernini made one of the statues in the fountain group to cover his eyes with a hand so as not to have to look at the church. Then, adding injury to this snub, Bernini carved another figure with hands up in alarm, to make it appear he was afraid the church would fall down upon him.\u201d<\/p>\n
2157<\/b> Making Faces At Little Basle<\/b><\/p>\n
A feud long existed between the towns of Great Basle and Little Basle in Switzerland. The inhabitants of Great Basle showed their contempt for their neighbors by attaching the figure of a black face to the town-clock, out of whose mouth protruded a long red tongue every time the bell struck, making faces at Little Basle. This relic of barbarism now makes one of the curiosities of Basle. <\/p>\n

An Englishman, on a tour of the Western United States, came to a desert filling station. Above the door was a sign: \u201cJoe Bevins, 200% American.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the scowling and surly proprietor had filled the gas tank, the visitor ventured a question: \u201cWould you mind, Mr. Bevins,\u201d he said, \u201ctelling me just what is a 200% American?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell,\u201d said the filling-station man belligerently, \u201cYou heard o\u2019 100% Americans, I reckon\u2014they hate all other nationalities. Me\u2014well, I\u2019m 200%\u2014I hate everybody! <\/p>\n

2159<\/b> Stepping Aside For Scoundrel<\/b><\/p>\n
Due to a quarrel in the Senate at Washington, John Randolph and Henry Clay refused to speak to each other for several weeks. It wasn\u2019t until they met on a narrow sidewalk on Pennsylvania Avenue that words were forced out of them. <\/p>\n
Neither one would step aside for the other at first until Randolph, looking his opponent straight in the eye, declared:<\/p>\n
\u201cI never step aside for scoundrels!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI always do,\u201d promptly replied Clay as he stepped out into the muddy street and let Randolph have the sidewalk. <\/p>\n
2160<\/b> Jew-Samaritan Hatred<\/b><\/p>\n
There is a tradition that 300 priests with their trumpets and 300 rabbis with their scholars once gathered in the Temple court to curse the Samaritans with all the curses in the Law of Moses. Nor were the Samaritans less eager in hating and annoying. At the Passover it was the Jew\u2019s custom to light bonfires on Mount of Olives, a signal for other fires till the Euphrates was reached, to send the messages to exiled Jews. The Samaritans lighted rival bonfires on other days to confuse the watchers. <\/p>\n

2162<\/b> Those Scenic Checks<\/b><\/p>\n
Banks have long printed checks in a wide spectrum of colors, some have offered checks with floral or scenic backgrounds. The modest-sized Bank of Marin in Marin Country, Calif., has gone one step further. Its customers can simply bring in their own photograph or drawing and have them printed onto a standard check form. <\/p>\n
Undeterred by the higher cost, more than 500 customers signed up for the illustrated checks. But perhaps the most imaginative\u2014and vindictive\u2014customer is the one who ordered special checks to be used solely for making his alimony payments. They show him beautifully kissing his new wife. <\/p>\n
2163<\/b> Church Of Reconciliation Splits<\/b><\/p>\n
In a northern section of Berlin lies a Protestant church whose front yard now straddles the Communist wall. Its ironic name: the Church of the Reconciliation. <\/p>\n
The Church of the Reconciliation appears to have been abandoned. The building itself, with a statue of Christ at the entrance, is in East Berlin, while the front sidewalk is in the West. A 10-foot brick wall stands between. <\/p>\n
