Sheldon Glueck, Roscoe Pound Professor of Law and an alumnus of George Washington University, was honored by his alma mater with the degree of Doctor of Social Science. With his wife, Eleanor Touroff Glueck, he has studied the determination of factors which aid in the prediction and prevention of juvenile delinquency...
...Monday, his pulse began to fall; his body-resting on a simple, low wooden bed to which he had been moved to make medication easier-shook with spasms. Late in the afternoon, he spoke his last words: "Mater mca [my mother]"-the first words of an invocation to the Virgin Mary that he had learned as a seminarian.

It is mainly the long-planned work of Tom Braden, 45, a wartime OSS-CIA man who went on to become an English professor at Dartmouth, his alma mater, and is now editor-publisher of the Blade-Tribune in Oceanside. Rafferty rooters recently flooded Sacramento in a vain effort to stop Braden's reappointment to the state board of education, apparently because Braden opposed Rafferty's election last November. Net effect: Braden has stolen a good deal...
