...importance of this fact was that last year the Army, fed up with the air resistance of air-cooled radial engines (their "built in head winds''), all but abandoned them for fast fighter craft, ordered the bulk of its fighters equipped with Allison 1,090-h.p. liquid-cooled inline engines. Meanwhile Pratt & Whitney and Wright Aeronautical, top-flight U. S. engine builders, stuck to air-cooled radials (which in-line engine men scornfully call "starfish") and increased their power. Result: Pratt & Whitney is in production with a tremendous single package of power: a 2,000-h.p. 18-cylinder...

As the red clumps grow larger, the liquid part of the blood turns thick and sludgy, and the heart is harder and harder put to it to pump against the blockade. When circulation stagnates, the body's oxygen is cut off. and finally the heart stops...

It was Benny Goodman, just recovered from long illness (sciatica). When he sent out Somebody Stole My Gal, pure, liquid, brilliant, the place rocked...
