Thank you for an objective and most revealing study of the American Medical Association [July 7].

...Roberts, vice president of The American Institute and widely-known foreign trade authority, who last year completed 11 years in Brazil as a Sears of Brazil executive, as the originator of the first supermarket chain in Brazil, and finally as a consultant to U.

Jean always carves, but if she does little things like that beyond the customary wifely duties, he, as a husband, is St. Walter of Larchmont. Several afternoons a month, he gets behind a shopping cart in a Post Road supermarket.

He also criticizes her work as it progresses, sending her back to the typewriter to fill...
