We await further word from Pete on how much medicine he has a chance to practice.

A foreign service officer in the State Department, George's most recent post was with the American Embassy in Buenos Aires.

A short note from Bob Pierce on the eve of his departure for Greece. Last spring it was Rome—both trips as prizes for coming out top dog in Chevrolet sales contests. Does Dinah still sing "See the U.S.A.... ?"

One of the supposed lures of Gotham is that, situated in the hub of hyper-sophistication, nobody can wing a fast one right by you. Well, here's a couple that zapped me.

Was this to mark the end of a summer holiday? Maybe next issue will have (1) an answer from Len, and (2) an explanation from Bill.
