...Eire's Fergus River when the Chicago radio tower received an urgent message. American Airlines pilot Frank Hamm Jr., on top of the overcast en route from Buffalo to Chicago, had failing engines, would have to land on whatever was handy when he came down out of the cloud. He came out above the shore of Lake Michigan, headed for the Michigan City (Ind.) airport only about 40 miles from Chicago's municipal field. But there was not enough altitude left to make the emergency field...
Other icemen: Dr. Irving Langmuir and Vincent J. Schaefer of General Electric, the only men who have done anything about the weather. On Nov. 13, they proved that they could turn a cold cloud into snow by sprinkling it with dry ice (TIME, Nov. 25). Last week, Schaefer told of a further triumph.

Last week in Cleveland, the same union sued Republic Steel for $56 million, American Steel & Wire Co. for $38 million. The United Automobile Workers demanded $12 million from Ohio Crankshaft...
...raccoon coats. This was Yale, and early-season wins over provincial seminaries were merely so many statistics cluttering up the record. In other years, this unyielding Sophomorism would have been as much a part of the proceedings as Handsome Dan. But this year it must not be allowed to cloud the fact that a green team, playing together for the first time, rose from the nether corners of the Ivy League doormat, where the guessers and Washington Street halfbacks had relegated it back in September, to win seven games of nine and give the University its finest state since...
