...district justice slated to try Girard. But the voice of Tokyo was soon drowned out by the growing uproar in the U.S. "Sold down the river," cried the Veterans of Foreign Wars; TO THE WOLVES, SOLDIER, cried the New York Daily News. In Girard's home town, Ottawa, Ill. (he lived there in the family trailer one year before enlisting in 1953) relatives and friends got up a 182-ft. petition protesting "a clear violation" of the U.S.'s duty to stand up for its fighting men. "You have traded the loyalty of the mothers of America...
...five o'clock one afternoon last week, two stocky figures in ill-fitting topcoats and battered felt hats stepped out of a shabby green railway coach onto the red-carpeted platform of Helsinki Station. After an exchange of platitudes with Finnish Premier V. J. Sukselainen, resplendent in top hat and cutaway, the elder of the two visitors shouted out a greeting to a Finnish army honor guard.

In 38 cases there had been marked emotional stress brought on by husband trouble, illness or death in the family, threat of eviction, or, in the case of two unwed women, being abandoned by the men they had expected to marry. There were nine cases of shock or accident. With some overlaps, such factors were found in 66% of the retarded children's backgrounds, but in only 30% of the normal children...
...first blink, this seems to be one of those drab little British dramas in which an ill wind can be heard whistling across the raw clay of a new housing development. But there is an extra dimension: magic of sorts. At St. Bride's, a public school "of the second class," middle-aged Bill Mor wonders what to do with a life already half wasted in the chalky smog of history classrooms and hopelessly Potterized by his wife, a ruthless practitioner of "one-upmanship." The chance of liberation comes in the figure of a beautiful, boyish girl artist named...
