...N.A.A. record of 850.67 yds. for flight of an arrow is impressive, as is the "freestyle" record of 937.13, done with a foot-held bow [Aug. 31]. The latter distance probably exceeds the best done by the Turks in the 15th and 16th centuries, but it must be remembered that all Turkish shooting was done with a hand-held bow. That the Turks were claiming distances approaching 1,000 yds. is, to the best of my knowledge, inaccurate. They measured their distances in a unit called guz, the exact value of which can only be approximated; my conclusion is that...
...stroke; in Hollywood. For more than a decade Adrian set the pace for women's fashions across the U.S. and even to Paris, made Jean Harlow, Katherine Hepburn and Norma Shearer look like haute couture models, put Greta Garbo in sequined slacks.

U.S. experts who looked her over agreed that she could do almost any kind of oceanographic work, and the Russians...

He has recorded guitar music of the 16th century for Washington Records, performed in concert halls including the National Gallery of Art. played his own flamenco guitar score for a production of Tennessee Williams' The Purification. He made a bow to jazz by playing in England and Saudi Arabia with the Woody Herman band, has also composed music for modern dance groups, and for the past two years has been combining classics and jazz at the Showboat...
...depressant on business. If both sides do not reach an accord by then, the Government will have to step in." Last week the Administration repeated that it had no intention of stepping in. The strongest public pressure for a settlement came from 100 steelworkers' wives who, with a bow to the women of Aristophanes' Lysistrata, gathered at a hall in McKeesport, Pa. over their husbands' protests, whipped off angry telegrams demanding that both union and management get cracking in negotiations. Said the women in a resolution: "Let's put an end to all the folderol...
