...tonnage of new ships launched that year was 3,033,030. When the shooting was all over, the production machine really got into high: 4,075,385 tons in 1919, 2,476,253 in 1920. Then the U. S. sat down again and remembered it was a landlubber. Hog Islanders and other ugly but effective freighters were tied up by the hundreds to rust, were sold or junked. By 1935 U. S. shipping began to scrape bottom again, a miserable 3,065,000 tons. Over 75% of the merchant fleet had sailed 15 of its 20-year effective life...

Founded by scholarly Princetonian Richard Pleasant, secretary of the old Mordkin Ballet, the Ballet Theatre has had many backers including Dancer Lucia Chase, widow of President Thomas Ewing Jr. of big Alexander Smith & Sons Carpet Co. Among the ballerinas, best are Philadelphia-born Karen Konrad and beauteous 22-year-old Texan Nana Gollner...
Captain Cook's expedition took Omai to England from the Sandwich Islands as a treat for Cook's patron, the gaming Earl of Sandwich. This noble savage clicked at once. Lord Sandwich was ravished when Omai, who had never seen a horse, exclaimed: "What a big hog!" He was captivated when, during his first coach journey, Omai observed: "We go one way; houses, fences, trees all go other way. Ver' fine-sit, talk, maybe sleep, and at same time go!" Lady Carew was enchanted when she asked Omai how he liked tea. "Ver' well," he said...
