The ship carrying Medved is out at sea. A quiet day with an enjoyable lunch in the 3rd floor sun porch. Betsy Bloomingdale & Lee [Ed] Cox & Ted Graber still with us but now on their way out. Press raising a fuss over the Soviet ship and Medved leaving N.O. Actually there is no way we could legally stop them. Indeed 4 separate judges so ruled. We are also satisfied that he made the decision to go back—possibly because of threats to his Mother & Father.
