...foremost champion of human rights. But last week the Champ was screaming as shrilly as the kind of drunken blonde that Billingsley never, never allows in his club. Walter had been accused of ignoring an act of "discrimination" * that was made no more than a table-hopper's hop from his Cub Room table...
...earth: Japan, Samoa, Ceylon. "Positively everything in Japan laughs. The jinrickshaw men laugh while running at full speed five miles with a sun that visibly sizzles their drenched clothes. The women all laugh, but they are obviously wooden dolls, badly made, and can only cackle, clatter . . . and hop or slide in heelless straw sandals across floors . . . I believe the Mikado laughs when his ministers have a cabinet council." One Japanese item was no laughing matter for a Bostonian: "I was a bit aghast when one young woman called my attention to a temple as a remains of phallic worship...
Flying the same Beechcraft Bonanza used by the late Bill Odom for his 1949 record hop from Honolulu to Teterboro, N.J., Illinois Congressman Peter F.

This year, when the mathematicians finished calculations on the 1950 census, it was obvious that the center had made the biggest westward hop since 1890, and, because of the industrial rush to Texas, the greatest southerly...
...easy. By 1949, idleness chafed him. In Solana Beach, Calif., he organized the Bill Jack Scientific Instrument Co. to make a new kind of aerial reconnaissance camera, rounded up some new "associates" and began dreaming big dreams. Last week it looked as if Bill Jack was ready to hop into the public eye-and public pocket-once more. He announced plans for a is0,000-square-foot factory for his camera, and the Defense Production Administration recommended a $2,000,000 "emergency" loan for him to build...
