How Wives Could Use It! By Joe McLean I cannot tell a lie. At least, not while Lincoln M. Zonn, former Weymouth resident and his suitcases, are in town. Zonn heads something called "Truth Associates - Detection of Deception Laboratories." He holds forth in icy-eyes infallibility in an office on Boylston St. - he and that infernal suitcase that contains no clothing. It holds a lie detector. It can't be beaten. I tried. In three minutes flat three pens on the diabolical machine jiggled in code: "Liar!" I tried again. Same result.
