Stalling Nogoodniks. San Francisco's Federal District Judge Edward Murphy thundered that Barber's treatment of Heikkila smacked of "the Gestapo, the thumbscrew and the rack." Bowing to Murphy's contempt-of-court threat and shocked public opinion, the Justice Department ordered Heikkila brought back to the U.S. By week's end, smiling happily, he was home in San Francisco again, reunited with his U.S.-born wife Phyllis. Scheduled for this week in Judge Murphy's court is a hearing to decide what happens next...
World Jewry has always kept an uneasy eye on Russia's erratic treatment of Jews. Some of the early leaders of Communism (Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Litvinoff and Kaganovich) were Jews, but Stalin later made Jewish "cosmopolitanism" a dangerous charge.

Her white blood corpuscle count fell from the normal 5,000 per cubic centimeter to zero. Then a kidney from a four-year-old girl (whose treatment for hydrocephalus required kidney removal) was transplanted to Mrs. Lowman. The Boston surgeons attached it to the femoral arteries and veins below the groin in her right thigh. She received a dozen marrow transfusions before and during the operation, mainly from her brothers. With her count of disease-fighting white...
...shrill "Cross-eyes" when he squints. At recess time, they rip off his cap and toss it into the chestnut tree. When he cannot quite make out the math problems on the blackboard and whispers questioningly to a deskmate, the teacher canes him. The boy takes this ugly-duckling treatment philosophically. He believes that his ugly-duckling family, as well as his weak eyes, is to blame...
