...Oliver Kuzma, working with Dr. Marmorston and her group, reported parallel evidence from a group of 109 men who got a slightly larger but virtually nonfeminizing dose of estrogen. In addition to an encouraging trend in the male death rate, Dr. Kuzma reported that in most cases the levels of cholesterol and other fat fractions circulating in the blood of heart-attack victims returned closer to normal, with no untoward feminizing effects. And Dr. Kuzma found that increasing the dosage, to the point where feminization was unmistakable, conferred no added advantage...

Last year it got a remarkable ruling from U.S. District Judge Sterling Hutcheson (TIME. Aug. 18), who gave the county until 1965 to desegregate. Last month the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered integration by next fall. There is little chance of that now. The county's two public high schools and 18 grade schools will stay shut. For some 1,500 white children, Prince Edward will set up private schools supported by donations (asking for state money might...
