Their romance, marriage and divorce are tainted by their irreconcilable social positions which Wyn's stuffy family never let her forget. That is the shadow over Kitty Foyle's youth...
...Benioff Seismographs, most sensitive of any, at the station on Oak Ridge, Harvard, Mass., have been used by Dr. Lect to study the New England upper crust in collaberation with the Dominican Observatory, Ottawa, Williams College, Weston College, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. By measurements of quake waves of both the "Push" and "Throb" variety, Dr. Lect has determined that the New England top layer consists of nine miles of hard granite...
