...Albert C. Read in their weird helmets and goggles, maneuvering Curtiss pushers through the bright Maryland sky. At the Naval Academy Arthur did well in the famous class of 1916 that produced more than 40 admirals and made such a hit at Academy hops that his class Lucky Bag terms him "a pink-cheeked Apollo." After graduation and four years in battleships, Raddy got into the Navy's second postwar aviation class at Pensacola, Fla., won his wings in the fall of 1920, moved steadily upward to command the crack Fighter Squadron I aboard the new carrier Saratoga...
...Texas insurance companies have gone bankrupt in the past three years. Last week the state's slow-moving Insurance Commission revealed probably the biggest bust of them all.

His classes are drawing a wider variety as well as a larger number of students since the war. Painters and psychiatrists seem especially interested in Zen, he finds. Psychoanalysts, says Dr. Suzuki, his tiny eyes twinkling under winglike eyebrows, have a lot to learn from Zen: "They go round and round on the surface of the mind without stopping.

...Chicago's shotgun-toting Mrs. Carola Mandel added up her year's bag of clay birds on both skeet and trap ranges, discovered that she is the first woman ever to whip all competitors, male and female, in competitive averages. Mrs. Mandel's scattergun accounted for three world records, including an average of 99.6 for 1,000 targets...
