...love for the city dot the landscape: a handsome lakefront development, an expanded public hall, new low-cost apartment houses built over slums, a new community college. But Seltzer and the Press are too busy to pause and admire their handiwork. The paper throws parties for the bassinet set and Golden Wedding couples. It sends Nationalities Editor Theodore Andrica abroad just to look up relatives of foreign-born Clevelanders. Some years ago, when an indigent old woman died alone in the city, leaving a note and a dog, authorities were not surprised to discover that the note was addressed...

And the daughter of a Merseyside policeman, Mabel Anderson, taken...

Last week, Mrs. Harris reached over, pulled out the drawer, and there in a bassinet snuggled Cynthia, three days old. When she had finished cooing at the baby, Mrs. Harris pushed the drawer back, and Cynthia was again in the semiprivate nursery which she shared with Mrs. Sigmund's baby. When Mrs. Harris closed the drawer, a light flashed on in the central corridor, showing the nurse...
