...Jenny's transport successor has one clinching, convincing argument in her own right: she can be turned out in a fraction of the time and for a fraction of the cost of an aluminum plane, not to mention a total saving of aluminum...
Most of the big dinosaurs will have to risk staying in Washington; so will many another object. It would be too heroic a task to bottle, bundle, crate and ship even a large fraction of the Smithsonian's 1,000,000 fish, its 1,750,000 plants, its 510,000 historical relics. (Only 5% of this material is displayed for the museum's 2,500,000 yearly visitors.)

...best entry lists in the entire meet has been compiled in the 200-yard breaststroke, in which John Meyer of Yale is the favorite. His consistent ability to negotiate the distance in a fraction over 2:25 serves to rank him ahead of such butterflies as Arvid Croonquist of the Army, Joe Jodka of Massachusetts State, John Podgorski of Concord College and Charlie Gantner of Rutgers. Jodka and Gantner are possible surprise winners, both having done 2:26 this winter...
Having set a world's record at Michigan in the 400-yard freestyle relay of 3:27 and a fraction, the Blue mermen can field a quartet in this event which is about the best advance bet in the meet.

These lush contracts are running out, are only a "minute fraction" of Douglas' $800,000,000-plus backlog. Future profits will be made from sales to the U.S. Army & Navy, on which Douglas last year earned only...
