...that had swallowed Nungesser and CoU; Hamilton and the Princess Loewenstein-Wertheim; that nearly claimed von Huenefeld and the Bremen pilots. Now their own fuel was running low. No chance of making New York nonstop, or even U. S. soil. They must be somewhere near Harbor Grace Newfoundland, but how see the airport through such a fog? Then came a rift. The plane dived through it to a perfect landing at Harbor Grace. Thus last week after 31 trying hours, the Fokker Southern Cross, already famed for its flight from California to Australia (TIME June 18 1928) from Australia...
...Grace Goodhue Coolidge had another poem. "The Quest," published in Good Housekeeping (her first, "The Open Door," in memory of Calvin Coolidge Jr., was published in the issue of October 1929).

What Mr. Grace, who is now Bethlehem's president, would not tell, was the size of his, Mr. Grace's, salary. In Youngstown, only the day before, a new petition had charged that this salary exceeded $1,000,000 annually, "for which," the petition added, "he renders no adequate service or consideration." Never before had such things been said of the man whom Colyumist Arthur Brisbane immediately characterized...
...Murphy neither forgot, nor refused to tell, this news of the great Steel War: That at a dinner at New York's exclusive Links Clubs, last March, attended by himself, Mr. Schwab, Mr. Grace and many another promerger leader the plans were made for the purchase of Sheet & Tube stock through Mr. Murphy's brokerage house (G. M. P. Murphy & Co.). Many a legal objection to the deal is based on the extent and nature of stock-buying by promerger forces before the stockholders' meeting (TIME, April 21).
