...read with much interest in TIME, Aug. 12, a letter from Dr. H. Maxwell Langdon in reference to cortin and glaucoma, and holding the opposite view from that of Dr. Langdon I dash madly to the rescue of beleaguered TIME...
...four events and set three world's records in a single afternoon in what experts agreed was the most amazing display of versatility in track & field history. Thereafter, the consensus was that for Owens to lose to anyone this year in either of his two best specialties?100-yd. dash and broad jump ?was unlikely.

In her old limousine she drove from Hollywood to Pasadena, where she hid from prying eyes in a bush with four bodyguards before making a spectacular dash for the Santa Fe train. Outside Chicago, she alighted in the railroad yards, set police and railroad men in a dither getting her a cab. Her next appearance was at Chicago's Union Station where she arrived ten minutes before train time, peeked around a corner, spied some newshawks...
