...Johnston Jr. denied an N.A.A.C.P. request for the release of two Monroe Negro boys from the state reform school. The boys, David Simpson, 8, and James Thompson, 10, were locked up on Oct. 29 after a white mother complained that the older boy had forced her seven-year-old daughter to kiss him. The boys' version of the story: they were playing down in a culvert with several other white boys and girls; there, two of the girls sat on the laps of white boys, and a third sat on Thompson's lap and kissed him. The Negro...
...Independent One. The daughter of South Viet Nam's present Ambassador to the U.S., Mme. Ngo married at 15, was soon smack in the middle of her country's resistance first to the French, and then to the Communists. Thrown into prison in 1946, she escaped, joined the partisans. Today, in her bustling office in the palace, which because of its busyness she calls Le Moulin (the mill), she handles a bewildering assortment of visitors and letters asking every sort of favor, from help in curbing an abusive husband to advice on a Latin essay. She manages...

The only foreseeable bar to her election next month would be Nehru's disapproval, and, in accepting the nomination, Indira...

(pop. 8,000), where she was born, and Kingston, R.I., where she died, as they are to Smith fund raisers. The daughter of a Whitinsville doctor, she attended Smith in 1879-80 as a sophomore (she had studied previously at Wellesley), then dropped out. Smith's records show that she made "very high" marks in history and natural history, did satisfactorily in her other subjects. But for some reason she left school...
Miracle and Reward. In the meantime, Preedy flourishes when the spirit moves him, goes into decline when his mystical source fails him. Powerful newspaper people quarrel about him, try to decide whether to back him, attack him, or ignore him. The skeptical, hopelessly crippled daughter of an American millionaire is brought to him; the girl rises to her feet and rewards Preedy handsomely. But when Preedy persuades another woman to ignore doctors and her child dies, his own committee members begin to turn against...
