...ounce of marijuana used to cost $5 in Marlow, Okla., and when police were trying to catch a dealer, they just dipped into their own pockets to make the buy. Like everything else, the price of grass is growing. It is $30 an ounce these days, and that is a lot of petty cash for officers who earn $636 a month. Their solution: a fund-raising drive to provide a $1,500 Special Police Fund from which to buy narcotics and pay informants. So far businesses, churches and citizens of Marlow have chipped in $1,000. Last week, using some...

This glimpse of prenatal life is an extraordinary technical feat by a West German obstetrician, Dr. Hans Frangenheim, who helped develop the pencil-thin telescopic optics, and a Washington, D.C., endoscopist, Dr. John L. Marlow, who did the actual photography in a West German hospital. TV viewers are not told that, unlike the babies of the three mothers, the embryos shown were doomed. Because of the experimental nature of the photography-and the possible risk it posed-it was done only in the wombs of women about to undergo abortions...

...look constantly ridiculous (women in Ambler are often girl Fridays who see through the melodramatic illusions of men), Zaleshoff might be a bit much. But he is the wonderful stuff of a racidal's fantasy nonetheless. He reappears in Cause For Alarm (1939). He cons a British engineer Marlow, (our hero) in Milan to do some unwitting work for him, and soon they are fleeing Mussolini's police across the countryside of northern Italy. While hiding is a railroad depot they are captured, and the fascist official leaves the pair in a workshed under the guard of two railroad workers...

...commonwealth option as the best means of maintaining their identity while pursuing development. The present arrangement, overwhelmingly approved by the voters in every election since it was adopted in 1952, will probably be changed somewhat this year. A joint commission headed by Muñoz and former Kentucky Senator Marlow Cook and strongly sup ported by the Hernandez government, has proposed a new compact, which is now be ing discussed in Congress. The island would be explicitly recognized as a sovereign entity voluntarily choosing union with the U.S. Puerto Ricans would remain U.S. citizens but, unless they live...

...Parnell legend, so peculiarly suited to the romantic side of 19th century politics and the sentimental side of the Irish heart, reduced James Joyce to bitter parody in his short story, Ivy Day in the Committee Room (1905) published 14 years after Parnell's death. Joyce Marlow's antidote to Parnellism-the stuff of which greening statues in the park and old candy-box covers are made-is sobriety. Mrs. Marlow is an exactress who did not abandon drama when she left the stage. Yet her biography of Katharine (and inevitably, Parnell) weighs evidence with the scruples...
