After six days of consulting his family, and of sawing wood and saying little, Governor Leverett Saltonstall reported his decision to Massachusetts. He will not resign and have himself appointed to fill the U.S. Senate seat of Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., now on duty as a U.S. Army major.

El Khobar is not so black-hearted as black...
...profited by the Network's experience and avoided the radiators. But they still have a problem: the girls in Bertram Hall can't seem to hear Radio Radcliffe, and reception is spotty in Eliot and Whitman. Other 'Cliffe-dwellers hear the broadcasts at 560 on their dials, except in Cabot, where a relay transmitter changes the frequency...
