Sometime late Saturday night near the Brattle Theatre a burgiar broke into the parked our of John M. Hogg by forcing open the right front vent window. Two suitcases were stolen.

...Live With It." In many another U.S. city Pamela would be shunted off to an institution. Not so in Atlanta schools, which integrate blind children (161 this year) with sighted students in a showcase program that began in 1954.
