Sirs: Your statement in the May 31 issue, under "Russians to the Pole," that North Pole party member Ernest Krenkel was radio officer with the Byrd Antarctic Expedition in 1930, geographically is completely in error, inasmuch as he at the time occupied the very northernmost human habitation, almost at exact antipodes from Little America.

Irina had no time or strength left for thoughts about her own heart until, just as the time was drawing near for her debut, she met dour young Doctor Ivan. Ivan thought dancing and dancers ridiculous, but not Irina. They took each other so seriously that...
...night's vastness, Everywhere is the atmosphere of study. But in Lowell House tower there is a stirring. No lights, but a sinister, dark figure outlined vaguely against the open window. Someone sneaking up there to shatter the silence of a pre-exam night by jazzing those mad Russian bells? No. A quiet retreat wherein to grind out a futile string of oaths to help relieve the jitters...
