...hard-boiled Lee Cockrell, onetime stockyard worker and volunteer fireman, who was named chief of the town's three-man police force. Cockrell stopped the hot-rodders all right. He wrote as many as 80 traffic tickets in one day, used his ever-handy blackjack on some fresh guys who talked back. Indeed, some Boydsmen claimed Cockrell had clubbed them without any sort of cause. Perhaps, so:ne townspeople began to think, the hot-rodders had not been so bad after...
...captain began to set about record-cracking in a way that justified the Navy's high hopes. First record: Nautilus covered the 2,900 miles submerged from Pearl Harbor to the Bering Straits at an average speed of just under 20 knots, then set a record in the fresh new speed books on long voyages under...

Had the U.S. not acted in time, the massacres would have dwarfed those of 1860* and would have been comparable only to the Armenian massacres in Turkey during World...
...20th Century-Fox put him under contract but rarely got around to putting him in front of a camera (he did once play opposite an unheard-of starlet named Marilyn Monroe). In 1947 he was hired as the summer replacement on NBC-Radio's Jack Benny Show. His fresh, natural style was a success, and in the fall American Tobacco put the Jack Paar Show on the air on ABC. It lasted until Christmas Eve. In his radio days Paar squabbled with everyone, fired a whole set of writers, feuded with a Daily Variety columnist named Jack Hellman (Paar...
