...principle, Davis' wings resembled a moth's rather than a bat's. Fastened to his hips by hinges, they were rigid, oval-shaped, flat, with small ailerons at the tips controlled by handgrips. No webbing was sewn between Davis' legs. Instead he had them bound together, with a small moth-like tail-wing fastened to each ankle. In compliance with Federal regulations, he wore two parachutes-one for emergency in case the other failed to open...
That Germany's expansion is almost certain to be to the East is important to note, since England's reaction is bound to be different than if Hitler announced his intentions of capturing Alsace-Lorraine, Belgium, Holland, etc. So long as hostilities are to take place in the East, Britain is concerned only indirectly, and can hardly be expected to enter into alliances with France and Italy which commit her beyond all recall.

Edward Bromberg and Alexander Kirkland had theatrical names before they joined the Group, are its top-flight actors. Kirkland's substitution for Franchot Tone is the only important change in the Group...
However, any plan which arbitrarily selects one group of high schools is bound to incur the hostility of other high schools, not to mention the numerous private schools which yearly send large deputations to Harvard. The group so favored was entitled the privilege ostensibly because of the work it has done in the field of progressive education; but the problem raised by its selection over others will require delicate handling...
