...outlook of Cambridge Public Health and Cambridge Visiting Nurses is more progressive. Edna Skelley, the director of Public Health Nursing for Cambridge, outlined the tradition of service of the Public Health nurse.

Aria da Capo (literal translation: song from the top of the head.) by Edna St. Vincent Millary trifles elegantly around the theme of deceit--and so succeeds in shocking.

The state's contributions to American education include the first kindergarten and the first panty raid. It is the birthplace of the Gideon Society and the Republican Party...
...winner in science, philosophy and religion, Death at an Early Age. Kozol said that he was giving his $1,000 to the ghetto workers of Boston. That left the others with nothing to do but accept their various prizes: George F. Kennan for his Memoirs: 1925-1950, Edna and Howard Hong for their translation of Kierkegaard's Journals and Papers, and Publisher Cass Canfield, who accepted the National Book Award in fiction on be half of Thornton Wilder, author of The Eighth Day.
