...important thing for a second-grade teacher is getting across the essence of addition and subtraction. But of late, willowy Social Registerite Victoria Thompson, a 1960 Radcliffe graduate who teaches well-scrubbed little girls at Manhattan's exclusive Chapin School, finds her problems multiplying, what with all those reporters nosing around. One newshen nabbed her last week, but Vickie muttered, "I can't talk about that" and hurried away. About what? Well, what that happy band of Rocky boosters on the Coast keeps gloating about: they say that on June 10 Victoria will marry Dr. James Slater Murphy...
Died. Margaret Schulze Downey, 42, one of the nation's richest women, heiress to an estimated $150 million concentrated mainly in Newmont Mining Co. and Magma Copper Co.

Efforts by the inept GOP minority in the House to unseat him have failed, and for the moment anyway, Thompson, instead of being in irons, is still the Iron Duke of Ludlow...
...this is no surprise in a state where mayors and legislators have been elected from the jailhouse, and where the Harvard commencement procession was once led by the Sheriff of Middlesex County while he was under indictment. Consequently, it is silly to expect Thompson and the others to be gripped with a moral fervor and suspend themselves--and even if they do, there is no particular reason to hope for much improvement...
