...Westminster Kennel Club show, Manhattan's 65-year-old annual, is tantamount to the national show-dog championship of the U.S. But the Westminster is not the biggest, richest or most spectacular dog show in the world. The show that is all these things-bigger than England's famed Cruft's-is the Morris & Essex...
...William had seen his mother do it, so he climbed behind the wheel and started off. Some 48 hours later, after stealing two more cars (one a policeman's with a .38-calibre revolver inside), after sleeping one night in a sand pit, one night in a dog kennel, they stopped at last at Echo Lake-a small, boarded-up summer resort where frame cottages stood cold and bleak in the New Jersey woods. They broke a window in one, hid until dark, ransacked others that night. Now they were well fixed. They found canned food, soup, beans, four...
...Brucie, coal-black cocker spaniel owned by Herman E. Mellenthin of Poughkeepsie, N.

Y. estate and snaffling $7,500 in cash, $500 in gold plate...
Then became apparent the weak point in Italy's naval policy. That country went in for super-fast battleships with thin skins, to raid and run, never stand and fight. And now Sir Andrew caught these greyhounds in kennel. As he plowed with his whole force after dark into the Gulf of Taranto, his advance scouts in the Strait of Otranto caught a convoy going to Porto Edda,* Albania, with supplies. They sank one ship outright, fired and probably sank two others, damaged one of the two escorting destroyers, which...
