...Tremont Street typhoons. During a moment of vexation, he wondered if Orson Welles and Burgess Meredith were really worth all this. But Vag fought to subdue his sudden spurt of misanthropy and pushed on. After all, he told himself, he was about to have an opportunity to absorb the liquid words and sly wit of two great Thespians, and absolutely gratis, to boot. True, it wasn't a performance of "The Five Kings," but it was an interview, and Vag guessed that he was going to enjoy himself immensely asking them all sorts of questions. Of course it wasn...
...girls made a spectacular on trance. The lights were lowered to the accompaniment of disappointed boos, a hush came over the audience, and two dozen Central Massachusetts mermaids pranced to the water's edge to the tune of a liquid waltz played over the public address system. Twenty-four blue-clad forms dived in as one and glided into compelling formations.

...drought of liquid refreshment was averted at the Dartmouth Carnival by official leniency and a quick wire to the state capital, when the disappearance of the liquor license of the Dartmouth Outing Club threatened disaster Friday night...
While American engine builders have plugged away for years on the development of the air-cooled radial engine, now close to perfection, German designers have worked at the liquid-cooled, in-line power plant. Result for the U. S.: the radial engine, with cylinders ranged like the spokes of a wheel around a short crankshaft, has grown to such size that its drag on the high-speed airplane is now of alarming proportions. (Head resistance increases as the square of the speed, e.g., if speed is tripled, drag becomes nine times as great.) Results for German designers: the in-line...
...builder of high-output motors to stick to the development of the liquid-cooled straight-line engine is Allison Engineering Co. In its little plant close by Indianapolis' famed motor speedway, its engineers and craftsmen, working on small orders for the U. S. Army, have kept the spark of in-line design firing, are now ready to go places. Already powered by Allison V-12's is the Army's twin-motored fighter, the Airacuda. More recently, the 1,000-horsepower Allison was built into a modification of the Army's snub-nosed Curtiss...
