...week, as the games got under way, even when they did not win, the surprisingly powerful Russians piled up points in almost every event they entered. The U.S. was substantially nowhere. ¶Bobsledding, almost a private sport for hefty, hare-brained daredevils, held no appeal for the Russians. Italian Jet Pilot Lamberto Dalla Costa, who knew every bump on the dangerous chute, put his long hours of practice to good use, swooshed home in front of his teammate Eugenio Monti.

("Jock") Henebry, who was a colonel in the Army Air Forces during World War II, was the youngest (then 32) general when he went back into service during the Korean war. Between wars, he opened a plane repair station at O'Hare Field in 1946; in the same year, the Government deeded land around his station to Chicago for use as a municipal airport (to begin scheduled passenger airline operations late this month, relieving Chicago's Midway Airport, and eventually to be the world's biggest).
