Though the doctor was enormously successful (part ownership of a thriving clinic, income of about $200,000 a year, a $50,000 home in the fancy Los Angeles suburb of West Covina, a 22-ft. speedboat, three cars), his marriage to Barbara was a dismal failure.

Some of the neighbors dropped in to welcome them, offer assistance, invite Mrs. Wilson to neighborhood coffee klatsches. Ethel Klutznick...

This is clear from the life being led by 250 first-to-eighth graders at Moscow's new Boarding School No. 2 in the quiet suburb of Pokrovsko-Streshnevo, one of 46 such schools in the Moscow area. Already No. 2's students (65% boys) are impressive specimens, honed by top-notch teachers, and one "upbringer" (counselor) for every 15 children...
