...York City suburb of New Rochelle, the board of education got a jolt from Federal Judge Irving R. Kaufman, who called it "deliberately" segregationist. He charged that the board gerrymandered district lines to keep New Rochelle's Lincoln School virtually all-Negro. Judge Kaufman ruled in favor of Negro parents who vainly tried to register their children at mixed schools last fall, ordered the board to desegregate Lincoln by next fall. The decision was a sharp blow at the "neighborhood school" concept, which breeds de facto segregation throughout the North...
Five years later, Olga was freed in the amnesty following Stalin's death. She returned to Moscow and Pasternak. In her absence, Pasternak had supported her two children, and he became especially fond of Irina, regarding her as his adopted daughter. Olga moved to the writers' suburb of Peredelkino. With Daughter Irina, she took a cottage near the dacha occupied by Pasternak and his wife Zinaida. Olga acted as Pasternak's literary agent, typed his manuscripts and helped correct his proofs...
...bargainers haggled about the price of independence, tension lay over the land. At Baraki, a suburb of Algiers, four Europeans were killed and ten wounded in a fight with Moslems. In an ambush on a mountain road, F.L.N. rebels killed a French army chaplain, two soldiers and four nurses. The morale of Algeria's 1,000,000 Europeans sank lower.

Kempsell Jr. of the Episcopal Church of St. James the Less in the prosperous suburb of Scarsdale, N.Y. admonished his congregation last week. A debutante, due to come out at the seventh annual Holly Ball at the Scarsdale Golf Club, had been told by the "escort subcommittee" that one of the two boys whose names she had submitted as her escorts was unacceptable. Reason: though...
...Keyses' French provincial home on the shore of Lake Owasso in the St. Paul suburb of Shoreview, dinner is a neatly scripted ritual, played to soft Brahms and candlelight, that often lasts for two hours. At first, recalls Keys, Margaret was not much of a cook: "She fed me - but she was pretty inexperienced." She learned; the walls of kitchen and den are lined with 254 cookbooks, not counting copies of Eat Well and Stay Well, for which Mrs. Keys supplied 200 tasty recipes. The Keyses do not eat "carving meat" - steaks, chops, roasts - more than three times...
