Last week Commander Francesco de Pinedo, swart, pouting but good-natured Fascist ace, bade goodbye to the steep shores of Roosevelt Lake, Ariz. But he did not leave them as expected. His seaplane, the Santa Maria, in which he had skirted Africa, spun over the Atlantic, swooped over the jungles of Brazil, threaded the West Indies, visited New Orleans and Texas, and which he was now refueling for the next hop, to San Diego and the Pacific, lay in still water surrounded by a Joseph's coat of many colors-spilled oil. From a rowboat full of boys nearby...
...Martin Luther. This music is by another countryman, aged 34, who had lately lost his mother. This is not church ritual but the inner feeling of people like ourselves. Come, let us understand."

With grave decorum the King-Emperor entered the Ducal railway compartment, kissed his daughter-in-law, half-embraced his son with a fatherly pat upon the back and stepped out of the com- partment again onto the platform. Edward of Wales, always in high spirits when chatting with his merry sister-in-law, rode down to Portsmouth, as did Prince Henry and Prince George. When the royal...
...such pitiable devotion that no generous man, whatever his integrity, could have denied her. Nor was it remarkable that Guinevere stayed skeptical, with reports of the lusty brat's [Galahad's] activities constantly reaching the court. She dismissed Lancelot, who thereupon went mad, and she never bade him return until her life was at stake before the perfectly accurate charges of jealous and mighty Sir Meliagrance. The interim was Elaine's one happy season. When Lancelot was found in the forest and brought, bound, into young Galahad's new bloodhound kennels, she nursed the grizzled giant...
