Hoffman acted, he said, "to ensure that this trial will continue in an atmosphere of dignity."

Cuyler Hammond lists several social as well as medical factors that go with high cervical cancer rates...

As for the I.C.C.C., Mclntire's political attitudes and imperious ways have proved so embarrassing to missions that an estimated 1,900 of some 2,000 missionary members have withdrawn from the organization. Yet another Mclntire enterprise, Shelton College in Cape May, N.J., is undergoing a state challenge to its accreditation...
