Margaret Sanger and Mary Ware Dennett, both social workers, came together last week in New York under ironical circumstances. For on successive days Dennett, the conservative, was convicted of sexological heresy by a federal jury over in Brooklyn, while Sanger, the militant, sat in a Manhattan police court and heard eminent volunteers from the medical profession so smash the charges against her birth-control clinic that it appears improbable that the magistrate will hold the case for trial.
