This eight which opens the Princeton race sees Captain Eddie Bennett looking down the boat and seeing Spike Chace at stroke, Paul Austin at 7, Doug Erikson at 6, John Gardner at 5, John Clark at 4, Bob Wolcott at 3, Rog Cutler at 2, and bowman Bill Haskins. Of these, the only two who haven't had Varsity experience are Haskins and Gardner, and they both were on the Jayvees in the races against the Elis on the Thames...
...Detroit last week Harry H. Bennett, one of Ford Motor Co.'s top executives, reluctantly confirmed a story which had leaked into the press after a full week of secrecy. As personnel director and chief of Ford's super-efficient plant police, tough Mr. Bennett is the man who has done the nation's most famed job of nipping unionism in the bud.

...Harry Bennett, a wiry, dynamic ex-sailor and pugilist, was last in the news when a flying brick felled him during the riot of unemployed outside Ford's River Rouge plant five years ago (TIME.

Last week this improvement finally persuaded an important airline to try Floyd Bennett; American Airlines inaugurated a "summer service" of one plane a day from Floyd Bennett to Boston. American's eight other Boston flights will still start from Newark and all will terminate there. Advantage: passengers...

Her tolerance rarely deserts her except when she writes about literary climbers or timeservers, or about the Edwardian novelists who were her immediate predecessors. Her pet targets are Arnold Bennett, H. G. Wells, and John Galsworthy, whom she considers hopeless materialists, blind guides of their misled generation. Heaven, to one of Arnold Bennett's characters, she has said, would be "an eternity of bliss spent in the very best hotel in Brighton." (Bennett's characteristic retort was that...
