...Bonnet, whose name has been inextricably associated with Munich, to the Justice Ministry was at once a matter for the rejoicing of foreign opponents of appeasement like Sagittarius and for the dismay of French ones like radical Author Louis Aragon (Bells of Basel, Residential Quarter). Red Author Aragon was among the first to be called up, sent to the Front. The French are civilized. Search France in vain for concentration camps full of opposition leaders. These worthies were last week given every consideration, including the privilege of fighting-and dying-for France in front-line trenches...
...Among scores of grey shapes playing hide & seek in deadly earnest through the coastal waters around Great Britain was H. M. S. Courageous, oldest vessel of Britain's six aircraft carriers. Her broad, windswept flight deck was busy with planes coming & going to scout for U-boats.

Many a bigwig forked up the ante, among them Henry Ford, who invited Inventor Stout to set up shop under his wing. As Ford protege, later as an independent, Inventor Stout: 1) built the famed Ford tri-motor plane, 2) organized one of the first commercial airlines (Detroit-Cleveland, Detroit-Chicago), 3) designed the "Scarab," first U. S. rear-engine car on the market, 4) designed one of the first high-speed, gasoline-driven streamliners, 5) netted more than...
