Hearst's own copy, by his own instructions, gets copydesk treatment. His "Editor's Report" on Europe ("And so, as they say in the travelogues, we say goodbye to good old Europa") was condensed by some Hearst editors...
...academic-and commercial. Nakian settled back to study his favorite masters-Titian, Rubens, Van Gogh, Cezanne-and read avidly through the Greek classics. The classics, he felt, had everything a sculptor could want, especially the story of how Jupiter disguised himself as a bull and carried the fair Europa off to Crete. Nakian spent five years pummeling and twisting the clay for a huge terra-cotta abstract of the Rape of Europa.

...Manhattan gallery with an exhibit he was certain was worth saving. Working at Newark's School of Fine and Industrial Art, the center of a group of noisy, eager students, he has turned out 15 large and small statues in two years.

Says Reynolds: "Mostly, their trouble was that they were thinking of nothing...
...being put back in shape, the rechristened Liberté tore loose from her moorings in a storm, knocked a hole in her hull and sank on a mud bank. The French Line spent almost $20 million to raise and refurbish the ship. The sum was roughly equal to the Europa's original cost, but it was only about one-fourth the postwar cost of building such a vessel. The French Line hoped the sleek liner would earn back the money on the profitable Atlantic...
