Dentist Gerson Splits Practice Between Cairo and Brookline
Dr. Gerson, born in Egypt, and his wife divide their dental practice between Cairo and Brookline since 1945. They commute about 5,000 miles, plan another trip to Cairo in January, and raised two children in Cairo who now attend Massachusetts schools. He presides over Cairo’s Odontological Society and treats Egyptian royal family members and the Aga Khan. In Brookline his office shares a wing of a house with a high school principal. The family arranges care for their children through a system of maternity and school health records linked to clinics and nurseries.

France Tightens Penalties as Strikes Persist Across Nation
France enacts harsher penalties up to 10 years in prison and fines to 1,000,000 francs for sabotage and for using fraud threats or violence to start or sustain strikes. With about 2 million workers on strike, clashes erupt in Marseille as blocks are built and destroyed. Troops quell barricaded steel mills near Mont Saint Martin while railway workers report damage on the Le Mans Tours line. Government along with the Communist led CGT shows tentative progress toward a higher minimum wage, seen as key to breaking the stalemate.
