THEREFORE it perfectly natural for the
official to become interested in the unusual

He admitted that he wanted Miss Bourke-
White to stay and marry him. Since she didn't
know what he was talking about her interpreter
declined as usual.
Il never saw any man alone" Miss Bourke-
White explained. There were always other
people around. People in Russia do not have
the So-called American dates. There is a feel
