...baby World Trees and a World Bird will settle themselves on the Harkness Center lawn at 8:30 a.m. today in an Arbor Day celebration. The site is already graced by one World Tree, which was honored by Fertility Rites at the vernal equinox...
Next day, after two more planes had dropped survival gear, Hodgkin got worried about all the money being wasted on him. "I just pulled the tie ropes, gave the ship a shove downhill and away I went, just like an eagle." The B-17 flew over again. "The bird's flown the coop," its radio cackled.

Three of her records, Tennessee Waltz, Would 1 Love You and Mockin' Bird Hill, are among the top eleven on the hit parade; since its release last fall, her Tennessee Waltz has sold some 2,300,000 copies-a feat which has won her a gold medal with a diamond in it from grateful Mercury Records...
