Conditions of Marriage. Economist Remington, testified quiet, sullen-mouthed Ann Moos Remington-looking directly at her ex-husband as he sat motionless and poker-faced at the counsel table-had been a Communist.

She told the jury that once when they were sitting in a parked automobile on the Dartmouth campus, he confided that he "was a member of the Communist Party and adjured me to secrecy...

(Last week Communists using a bazooka breached one of these forts...
...lung-collapsing operation in which parts of the patient's ribs are cut out, and turned over so that they lie in a concave instead of convex position. They are sewn to the ends from which they were cut, where they cement themselves in place. Worked out by Drs. Richard H. Overholt and Leo J. Kenney of Brookline, Mass., the one-shot operation would take the place of an exhausting and expensive series now sometimes needed to collapse a tuberculous lung...
