...flashiest earnings report of the year came out of California last week. Douglas Aircraft Co. earned a record $18,177,000 in 1941, 70% above the preceding year.

There was applause, and Times Critic Olin Downes took to his typewriter to complain of the orchestra's playing and the symphonic ways of "this curious man" Stokowski. This was the New York Philharmonic-Symphony...
Stars of the meet were a team of Hawaiians, coached by ambitious Soichi Sakamoto, a U.S.-born Japanese. The flashiest team seen in the U.S. in many years, Sakamoto's boys include the Brothers Nakamo (Kiyoshi and Bunmei), who learned to swim in the irrigation ditches of the sugar plantation where they worked with their Japanese parents. Last year, at the national U.S. meet, Brother Kiyoshi, a University of Hawaii student, outswam mainland topnotchers in the 440-and 880-yd. free-style events, and Brother Bunmei took the mile...
