William L. Langer, Coolidge Professor of History and Director of the Russian Research Center, commented yesterday, "We are convinced that only good can come from closer intellectual contact and exchange with Russia." Langer, whom Dean Bundy appointed to coordinate the Faculty of Arts and Sciences' negotiations with Iron Curtain countries, emphasized the advantages to scholars of both countries in not only getting access to formerly unavailable material, but also in making contacts with the peoples of both nations...

By this time they were about ready for a tricky piece of surgery they call "fishing through the ice." Last week they interrupted Margie's eighth-grade studies (a New York City schoolteacher keeps children in the hospital plugging at their work), used an instrument like poultry shears to cut a rectangular hole in the back of the cast...
Died. John Anderson, 75, 1st Viscount Waverley of Westdean, stiff-necked first Home Secretary in Winston Churchill's wartime Cabinet, after whom Britons named their tiny, corrugated-iron, backyard air-raid shelters ("Anderson Shelters"), later (1943-45) Chancellor of the Exchequer, who represented Britain at the 1944 Bretton Woods monetary conference; of bronchial pneumonia; in London...
