...Sole exception: American Legion conventions. Last week Mr. Johnson proudly watched 200 army planes cavort above the Legion's parade in Los Angeles. Next day Mr. Johnson's fellow Legionnaire, Chief of Air Corps Oscar Westover, having directed the Legion air show, took off from March Field for Lockheed Airport at Burbank, Calif. Arriving there, the piloting general skimmed across the field to test the wind, headed back for a landing. Watchers saw his Northrop attack plane spin, crash in flames, set a frame house afire, slice through a parked automobile. The occupants of neither house...
...only two British universities with whopping endowments to provide the equipment necessary to attract distinguished researchers from outside. Although Oxford is getting a fine new post-graduate medical school and already has a world-famed low-temperature laboratory, it has otherwise been content to leave Cambridge a clear field for leadership in science. Oxford's angel is Lord Nuffield, automobile maker. Cambridge's No. 1 benefactor in recent years is another motor-maker, Herbert Austin, 1st Baron Austin, who, now 71, made his first car in 1895, competes with Nuffield for the nebulous honor of being called...

Perhaps this anonymity exists because the number of people involved is small; perhaps it is due to the fact that neither of the groups has yet had time to produce any outstanding contributions to their particular field. For the nine new Nieman Fellows and the thirteen new graduate students of the Littauer School of Public Administration, who compose what are probably this University's smallest departments, have barely considered the work which lies ahead of them. It will be a year, possibly many years, before any accurate...
...knows deep down inside that he'll stay in his own pasture. Gridiron glory is not for the lackadaisical type such as he. Instead this afternoon he'll provide himself with a Wellesley Miss, fortify himself with all his stadium impedimenta, and be off to Soldiers Field to watch the season's premiere against the Browns. As far as the game is concerned the Vag promises to confine himself to yelling. He figures that some of the other boys can probably take care of the ball-toting and signal calling well enough...
