GREER. We are mighty proud of you, Frank. We've often wondered, (and been told by other members of the Fourth Estate) what part the women's sections of the papers have in fulfilling the mission of a free press.

Now we ask you if that isn't Just exactly what we try to get together for our readers every day. Parties, weddings, travels (if any) and tidbits about boys (and girls) in the service. And another thing.
