...week book clerk in a San Francisco department store, was a secretary at Esquire magazine in Manhattan when she went to Hartogs in February of 1969, seeking help for depression. Her story: after a few weeks of twice-weekly talk sessions, Hartogs suggested that they have sex to erase her guilt over an earlier sexual liaison with a woman. Things progressed from holding hands across his desk to kisses on the mouth to lying together on his couch. By May she was partially undressed, and uncomfortable about "his constant reference to sex," but she was told she had to overcome...
...comic characters come off best--they each have a bundle of idiosyncrasies to lean on. Heurtebise, clad in blue overalls, shuffles around in a loose-ankled, slightly pigeon-toed walk, with his hands clasped tightly against his waist. The unworldly astonishment never fades from his pudgy face.

Chadbourn has been planning the exhibit since 1968 but felt compelled to present shows on Roscoe Pound and learned Hand firs, since their respective centennials have occurred in the past few years. The subject of her next presentation will be Felix Frankfurter...
...girl was sent to live with an aunt in remote Kazakhstan in Central Asia. Although Zoya now declines to dwell on her ordeal, she is well remembered by another ex-inmate of Stalin's prisons and camps, Alexander Dolgun, who now lives in Maryland. A former U.S. embassy clerk who was kidnaped by the Soviet secret police in 1948 and freed only in 1956, Dolgun spent years in the same vast concentration camp as Zoya. "She ended up in Dzhezkazgan, a hard-labor camp for political prisoners in Central Asia," Dolgun told TIME last week. "The women...
