...plea was made by Dr. Charles Lee Buxton, 56. chairman of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Yale University and of the obstetric services at Grace-New Haven Community Hospital. He made his case by citing the plights of two of his patients, pseudonymously listed...
Last week Connecticut's highest court, the Supreme Court of Errors, upheld the birth-control ban for the third time in the past two decades.

Clarke's next dream carries him, as Johnny Pascoe, through the years between the wars, disillusionment and divorce...
