Into the Kremlin again went the three men from the West-Walter Bedell Smith of the U.S., Frank Roberts of Britain and Yves Chataigneau of France. They had agreed beforehand on a new proposal for "settling" the Berlin crisis. Smith had their plan in his briefcase. Stalin greeted them genially. Before Smith had a chance to open his case, Stalin said: "Gentlemen, I have a plan. Here it is. I believe you will find it acceptable to your governments." Stalin's plan was almost identical with the one Smith carried. The Russians and the West had reached an agreement...
Conductor Artur Rodzinski, haggard and unshaven, arrived in Salzburg three days late on his concert rehearsal schedule. Explaining his delay, he told friends that he and Moral Re-Armer Frank Buchman, attending an Oxford Group conference in Caux-sur-Montreux, Switzerland, had had a furious, long-drawn-out quarrel (Rodzinski did not say what about).

In Chicago last week, before a crowd of 101,220, the collegians (most of whom would shortly be pros) kicked off against the Chicago Cardinals, 1947 pro champions of the National Football League...
Steam from an exploding locomotive had scalded Fireman Frank Mihlan of the Erie Railroad. When he was carried into Cleveland's Charity Hospital on July 15, doctors thought that he had little chance of living: 70% of his body was burned. Erie Surgeons decided to try something new. They wrapped the patient in bandages made from paper-thin strips of aluminum foil, developed by Toronto's Dr. Alfred W. Farmer. It was the first time aluminum foil for burns had been used in the U.S., the first time it had ever been used for burns of the whole...
