Miss Canty was generally very well liked around the department, they said, because she was "usually cheerful and friendly," although they remembered that she often had unusually bad moods. A close friend also reported that she had known Miss Canty to make up several "tall stories about people," among them one about an imaginary brother-in-law. The friend said that Miss Canty later told how the "brother-in-law" had been killed in an auto accident...
...wife, two children, and I live in the Harvard housing development known as Shaler Lane. We have just received notice that rents are being raised to about $84.00 per month. Our heating bill averages $20.00 per month. Thus the cost of having a place to live is over $100.00 per month. I find it incredible that a university of the stature of Harvard should not only not subsidize housing for its students in general, and its married students in particular, but that it should charge rents beyond the capacity of many students.

Virus Escape. Kim herself has been known to relax with a drink on occasion, but, said she: "Nobody has ever accused me of drunkenness on the stage."

In the Bulletin case, the fixers overcame a last-minute effort to thwart their game: they learned that one letter in the solution had been changed, submitted 24 entries to cover all possibilities...
...late Ernst Emil Wiechert (1887-1950) was one of the last of a vanished breed of German writers-romantic in feeling, mystical in outlook, spendthrift in prose (in his 63 years he wrote 60 books, none of them very well known in the U.S.). When Hitler came to power, Wiechert backed one of the dictator's most detested internal enemies, Lutheran Pastor Martin Niemoller, and paid for it with five months in Buchenwald concentration camp followed by years of enforced silence. Tidings, Wiechert's posthumous novel (first published in Germany in 1953) is the fruit of his musings...
