Garry Davis would have to wait a while to become an American again. The young ex-bomber pilot who cast off his citizenship in 1948 to become a "citizen of the world" got a chill welcome home from the Government. Davis, who re-entered the U.S. last April under the French quota as "a stateless person," will be treated like any other alien married to an American, the Justice Department said-meaning that he will have to wait two years before he can get his citizenship...
...that of another husband & father, a 28-year-old machinist from New York's East Side named David Greenglass. Plump, wavy-haired Machinist Greenglass made no bones about the fact that he had been considering either running away or committing suicide ever since he had read the chill news of Gold's arrest.

Concentrate on the great things that are on the doorstep...
...Verona. The innkeeper accepted with a will, romped and drank with the visitors until long after closing time. At last his guests drove off in two cars and a small truck, and Piazza set about locking up the tavern. When he got to Juliet's room, a cold chill gripped his heart. Gone were the bedstead, the wardrobe and the other Capulet relics. In their place, stuck firmly to the wall, was a note written on parchment in purest 13th century Italian. "I prefer beloved Verona to this creepy castle," it read. And it was signed Giulietta...
