...Munich, home of dark beer and darker Adolf Hitler. German artists were assured that Hitlerism is not opposed to art by Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda & National Enlightenment. "Since National Socialism looks upon itself as the Art of Politics," crowed Cock Goebbels. "it feels a natural kinship with the other arts and artists...
...Romantic illustrators. Exhibited with copies of the "Physiologies" are three pages of proofs submitted to Daumier by the engravers and initiated by him in pencil. These precious fragments have been lent by Mr. Russel Allen, to whose generosity many of the most interesting exhibits are due. The kinship of these wood-engravings to Daumier's better-known lithographs is apparent from the row of prints placed above the case. The magnificent "Rue Transonian" is flanked by the "Souvenir de Saint-Pelagic," the prison where Daumier was confined for his political caricatures. This impression, one of seven known proofs, is also...
From Butte to Albuquerque and from Kansas City to Salt Lake-the territory claimed for the Post's 150,000 circulation-the Bonfils career is epic.

Between these two flies science recognized no kinship, but the Smithsonian Institution's Raymond C. Shannon guessed better. He went to southwestern Argentina, climbed high, searched long. He found a fly. Back to the Smithsonian in Washington he hastened. There Entomologist Charles Henry Tyler Townsend examined the Shannon fly, pronounced it the missing link between botfly and parasitic...
...arresting figure of lordly carriage, with grey trowel beard, curling mustaches and somewhat rambling speech. He was Mr. Hawley's co-pilot on the 1910 flight in which they made an unofficial distance record which has never been surpassed-1,172 mi. Other oldtimers. proud of their kinship in the venerable clan of ballooning, came to congratulate Settle and Van Orman. (Their respective copilots were Lieut. Wilfred Bushnell, a portly, moon-faced Navy officer; and Roland J. Blair who, like Pilot Van Orman, works for Goodyear-Zeppelin Corp.) There was white-shocked Capt. Horace B. Wild...
