...made the most of it. In the fighter-bombers and fast, light bombers (Junkers 88) to which they resorted when their bigger death crates proved too easy meat for the R. A. F.'s fighter defense, they swarmed in over London. They also visited Liverpool, Manchester and other inland towns, to whose inhabitants the bombing of London is only horrid hearsay. Most of them stayed at great altitude because their converted Messerschmitts, with a red line painted on the windscreen for a "bomb sight," were no good for precision work and, anyway, the purpose of their "total...
...Europe's manufactures. On the Lower Rhine near the coal of the Ruhr was four-fifths of her industry. In that neighborhood are 16 cities with populations of better than 100,000 apiece-among them Cologne, Essen, Düsseldorf, Duisborg-Ruhrort, world's largest inland port. But the mills of industry do not grind without metal-bearing ores, and Germany was weak in them...
Japan's No. 1 Christian, Toyohiko Kagawa, was released from the prison to which he was hustled last month. Christian Kagawa said he would spend the rest of his life tending tuberculous Japanese on pine-studded, golden-beached Toyoshima, one of the "dream islands" of Japan's Inland Sea.

...their painters on the payroll. Others beg for them, as they might beg for cinema projectors or laboratory equipment, from Carnegie Foundation. Since 1938 this organization has supplied a dozen artists in residence, with an average $1,500 for their keep, to colleges which it prefers to be smallish, inland. The lot which Carnegie doled out this year includes: one slightly shopworn illustrator, John Held Jr., to the University of Georgia; one up-&-coming muralist, Philip Evergood, to Kalamazoo College. A crack portraitist, Robert Philipp, goes to the University of Illinois on a $4,000 Rotating Professorship succeeding Dale Nichols...
...boss, up-from-the-mills Horace Edgar Lewis, has had to be tough. He tried to balance J. & L.'s heavy wares by building a gigantic strip mill in Pittsburgh. This was farther from the most active light-steel markets than National's and Inland's mills in Detroit and Chicago; and before he had a chance to compete, the 1938 depression hit him. Meanwhile he won the good will of tough steel labor (which had been a long time forgetting tough Tom Girdler's regime at J. & L.) by following U. S. Steel into...
