Ho Chi Minh and the long arc of a revolutionary life
A compact portrait traces Ho Chi Minh from early Versailles appeals to colonial powers to his rise as a relentless Communist leader.

Two Women Receive Death By Own Action Kidney Transplants
Dallas report details X-ray therapy and antiseptic abdominal washes for Mrs. Sylvia Shartz and Mrs. Mary Ellen Crawford after they received kidneys donated by a man who killed himself. Doctors say the patients are alert and comfortable as they undergo treatment to prevent organ rejection. The donor, a 34-year-old husband despondent over separation from his wife, shot himself, with recovery assessments expected in up to 40 days. The women remain isolated to prevent infection until a definite outcome is known.
