West from the Virgin Islands toward Haiti stood S.S. America, a thwarted ship in a restricted ocean. Biggest (27,000 gross tons) and fanciest merchantman ever to slide down a U.S. way, she had been conceived by the Maritime Commission for the blue-ribbon North Atlantic passenger trade. But before her birth was complete, World War II and the Neutrality Act closed in her horizons. Since she left her fitting-out dock ten months ago, her life has been a pleasant tedium of Caribbean cruises. Last week adventure crooked an imperious finger to this immaculate loafer of the Antilles...

Furthermore, the 2000 running feet of books bound in one year would stretch from Sever Hall to Eliot House...
...terms were a comedown for ASCAP, which before the music war collected at a blanket rate of 5% of gross from the stations, and was asking 7½% from the chains to renew contracts. ASCAP General Manager John Paine reckoned that if extended to the entire industry the new terms would yield some $4,200,000 a year. ASCAP's 1940 revenue ran about $550,000 higher.
