...state (Nov. 6) that the Navy has a total of seventeen (17) four-star admirals. At present I can think of only seven: King, Leahy, Nimitz, Halsey, Ingersoll, Stark and Spruance. Is it I, or your researcher, who is in error...
Sweeper. In Minneapolis, the discovery of a 10,000-vote tabulation error put snaggle-toothed William J. Gallagher, 69, a retired street sweeper, and Henry George, single-taxer, into the House. By sweeping out Richard Pillsbury Gale, 44, a sense-making Republican internationalist, Gallagher will trade a $25.48 a month city pension for a $10,000-a-year...

Carrying 136 gallons of gasoline and burning a little less than a gallon a mile, the bomb has a top range of 150 miles. It can be set to fly at anywhere between 2,000 and 5,000 feet, thus taking advantage of any cloud cover available. Three gyroscopes, driven by bottles of compressed air and assisted by a magnetic compass in the nose (see cut), keep the bomb on its course...
