...scoreless, and Redskin rooters moaned when Sam Baugh was pulled out from under four of the larger Bears and was led off the field. In the third period Sam Baugh came back, limping. He then proceeded to outdo himself, successfully passing while running at full speed, while Bears clung to him, while on one knee. Three of these passes, good for a total of 167 yd., were also good for three touchdowns. The Bears meanwhile came back and scored one. One minute before the end of the game, the Redskins were leading 28-to-21, and Sam Baugh was taken...
Thirty-two terrible hours later Commander Henry Coyle's Coast Guard cutter Mendota picked up the last of the 21 survivors who clung to bobbing bits of debris. Captain Coufopandelis bore a painful gash on the bridge of his nose, the bite of a sailor who shared the captain's improvised raft and went mad from drinking salt water. The others, six of whom were saved by the C. D. Mallory tanker Swiftsure, told a gruesome tale. The sea had suddenly become alive with sharks.

...idea clung to by academic men, namely, that one cannot teach a teacher to teach, has been exploded by the results of Dean Holmes's School in the seventeen years of its separate existence.

Biographers have carefully recorded the facts of his career (better documented, less clouded by legend than most Elizabethans), have noted that his death inspired more than 200 elegies exhausting the superlatives of friends and enemies alike. W?here biographers have struck a snag...
George Palmer Putnam clung to his belief that his wife had come down not in the sea but on land, because the radio batteries, located under the ship's wings, would have been put out of commission in the water. Dozens of amateurs continued to report messages from the lost plane's radio, but Navy and Coast Guard radio experts doubted that any of these were genuine. One amateur who excitedly announced reception of a distress call was found to have been listening to the MARCH OF TIME'S dramatization of the tragedy from a commercial station...
