"Tales from the White Hart" (collection): Annotated table of contents

This appears to be far better story collection by Arthur Clarke than his "Reach for Tomorrow", though I haven't read more than half the stories yet.

Tone, ambiance, & presentation style is very similar to Issac Asimov's Black Widowers series of stories.

Here is the complete list of all the 15 stories in the collection:

1. "Silence Please": Humor. A man invents the ultimate silencer.
   
2. "Big Game Hunt": A man discovers a way to make arbitrary animals dance to his tune.
   
3. "Patent Pending" (Probably also called “The Invention”): A man invents the ultimate porn distribution machine.
   
4. "Armaments Race": A harmless toy that wasn't so harmless!
   
5. "Critical Mass": A stampede is averted, in the aftermath of nuclear disaster that wasn't.
   
6. "The Ultimate Melody": Why do you like some music but not other? Are these but crude approximations to an ultimate melody that everyone will like?
   
7. "The Pacifist": Humor. Tale of a naughty computer.
   
8. "The Next Tenants": In the general gloom following World War II, a man places hope in species other than humans. And decides to play god.
   
9. "Moving Spirit": Humor. A man's ingenuity against governmental sin taxes.
   
10. "The Man Who Ploughed the Sea": A device to mine metals from the oceanic waters.
    
11. "The Reluctant Orchid": A murder gone wrong, because the novel weapon used was untested.
    
12. "Cold War": Humor. Californian businessmen want some of the tourist traffic from Florida. So they contrive a plan to dilute the brand image of the Sunshine State.
    
13. "What Goes Up": An industrial accident creates an anti-gravity force field.
    
14. "Sleeping Beauty": Humor. A man invents a cure for your snoring disorders.
    
15. "The Defenestration of Ermintrude Inch": Humor. If your spouse speaks too much, help is on the way!
