...article on Truman's initiation into the shellbacks states: "The 350 shellbacks aboard [the Missouri]" etc. [TIME, Sept. 22]. Now, as it probably takes 350 "swabbies" to serve officers' mess alone, and as it was a northward trip, just how in hell did the rest of the crew get south of the equator without crossing...
...before had there been such traffic jams. A glimpse at license plates told Kansans where most of the shiny cars came from-the rich western wheat counties. Kenneth Richardson, a 24-year-old student, told how he got his green 1947 Buick convertible: "During the summer I hired a crew for two combines and folowed the wheat harvest from Oklahoma to Canada. We made plenty...
...three months ago did Pat tell his readers that he had cancer. Even then he tried to give them humor, albeit tightlipped. He wrote: "[The cancer] was near the base of the spine. . . .

Last spring newspapers all over the country tagged the Crimson crew as a good bet to go to the Olympics. Tom Bolles' oarsmen set a new world's record in Seattle last July and rated as the best in the United States.

Bob Stone, the captain and number four oar, and Stuart Clark, number two oar, were both Seniors last year and Bolles will have to replace...
Crewmen point out several other significant facts. Third in last year's race at Seattle was the University of Washington's Freshman crew--they were better than their Varsity teammates. Navy and Yale both did well last year and both had green, young crews. Shortly after the Poughkeepsie regatta this spring and probably in Seattle, which has become the crew center of the United States, the U. S. Olympic Committee will sponsor a race between the top crews of the country to decide which one will represent the United States in Europe. Past performances will therefore not get a crew...
