...Mexican organizers wanted a Schmidt telescope, similar in design to the Jewett telescope at the Oak Ridge Station. But war scarcities threatened to interface with their plans...
Britain's servants last week gave evidence that they are doing something about postwar aviation (TIME, Feb. 15, et seq.). A House of Lords committee headed by pudgy Lord Brabazon, onetime Air Minister and Minister of Aircraft Production, already had some recommendations to make: 1) the design of civil aircraft, lately sacrificed to Britain's all-out war effort, should be resumed; 2) engineering preparations should be made for converting bombers into airliners (one Lancaster has already been converted into a transport plane called the York); 3) the aircraft industry should be put to work building prototypes...
Honolulu had only one tattooist during World War I. Today it has 18 in seven tattoo shops (run by one Jap, two Chinese, four Filipinos).

At Tokyo's Imperial Hotel the roughness of the bathtub had left, she said ruefully, a "waffle design" on her posterior. Later, she had caught influenza. Her lipstick had run out. She was without holeless silk stockings. But when Steinhardt told her she had been "spoiled rotten by [her] parents" she replied "with gibes even more cutting...
