...great man had written in My Early Life: "I loved my mother dearly -but at a distance." A painful distance, according to Randolph Churchill, 55, chronicling the early life of Sir Winston Churchill in a biography now being serialized by London's Sunday Telegraph. "Winston's schooldays were the only unhappy part of his life," writes Randolph about his father. "The neglect and lack of interest shown by his parents were remarkable." Winny constantly begged "Mummy and Papa" to visit him at school, but "Lord Randolph was a busy politician; Lady Randolph was caught up in the whirl...
Over the past half century Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Virginia, has built up an extraordinary reputation as one of the most active centers of ancient Greek study in the country. The prime stimulus was Miss Mabel Whiteside, who functioned as a local Thalia, Melpomene and Terpsichore rolled into one.

In the spring of 1954, she fittingly climaxed 50 years of teaching at Randolph-Macon by presenting, not one more Greek play, but three--Aeschylus' trilogy The Oresteia, the mighty...

Dr. Philip Randolph Lee, Assistant HEW Secretary for Health and Scientific Affairs, said last week: "We have heard from some sources that physicians have raised their fees in anticipation of Medicare." A guidebook went out last week to some 230,000 physicians reminding them that the Government will pay "reasonable" fees-meaning an amount close to what the doctor usually charges non-Medicare patients in his area...
...months since Sir Winston Churchill died, books about him have been written by his friend Lady Asquith, his valet Roy Howells, and Son Randolph, who is putting the finishing touches on the "official" family biography. None of them is likely to reveal as much detail-or raise such a storm -as the memoirs of Lord Moran of Manton. Lord Moran was Churchill's doctor...
