Wound up in Zurich this week was a ten-day international aviation meet which offered a fine chance to the nations of Europe to show how they were getting along with human and mechanical preparations for the ''War in the Air." Military planes and pilots held the stage and Germany, at least, took full advantage of the occasion, competing in all events which she thought she could win, avoiding others. She won the meet hands down, taking first places in the speed, climbing & diving, and solo Alpine circuit races in the new Messerschmidt pursuit planes with which...

Lawyer Liebowitz' jury miracles are for the most part based on his understanding of human reactions and on simple tricks. Witnesses who will tell the truth on big things, often lie about little ones. The police had a tight case against a holdup suspect. Although they didn't need it to convict, they introduced the man's own signed confession, secured at police headquarters.
