Among the personal triumphs, Mr. John Archer's clear tenor voice was outstanding, but he should try for more pointedness in his spoken parts. Mr. Fonda's clowning did more to keep up the risibility than any other single feature, while Mr. Partridge was especially adept in his dancing specialty. The adagio waltz specialty by Mr. Winter and Miss Frothingham should also prove enjoyable...
...were concerned. The thing, perhaps, that is inexcusable is the lack of air traffic control at large air-ports like the Ford Airport. You can figure out for yourself, very easily, that a ship nosed up going at a rate of per-haps 60 miles an hour, has a clear field ahead so far as he can see. But above him, and some distance back of him, could be another ship flying straightaway at perhaps 120 or 160 miles an hour. Blind spots (lack of visibility in all directions), open cockpits, closed cabins, and several other factors would be responsible...

As they hurl their sleek, silvery bodies over the falls, it is clear why they are called "salmon." (Latin salmo means "a leaper.") Goal of the jostling, leaping fish is the quiet of the Yukon's upper pools. Swimming stoutly against the current, it will take them all summer to reach the headwaters. On the long trip (2,000 miles) they eat nothing...
