Below, 30-mile gales were churning the Atlantic into loft whitecaps. On impact, the plane's left wing snapped off, and the 76 people aboard-many U.S. paratroopers en route to duty in Europe-were catapulted forward. Thanks to the pilot's skill, the cabin stayed in one piece. Said one awed survivor: "God had his hands on the controls." One couple leaped hand in hand from the escape hatch, only to be separated in the sea. Two children were tossed out before the cabin went under, but were never seen again. Seven men linked arms to stay...
...fingers. The mother (Rosita de Triana) simmers in sad-eyed frustration. The son (Robert Gentile) tries to do an honest job as a grocery boy, but street gang punks torment and entangle him. The daughter (Greta Margos), a lissome, raven-haired beauty, gets work in a garment-factory loft, but the piggish foreman makes her earn her overtime pay with bodily favors. Her "promotion" is to become a call girl for out-of-town buyers. As the shady manufacturer who employs her, Kenny Delmar is uproariously funny with his seduction pad and patter...
Wiry, crew-cut Gene Ferkauf (the name is pronounced Fur-cowf and means "sell" in Yiddish) started out in a Manhattan loft 14 years ago with a total capital of $4.000.

All this Ferkauf has accomplished by pursuing a business philosophy that...

Charles St., with three houses within as many blocks, bids fair to compete with Greenwich Village's Macdougal St. There is folk singing at Golden Vanity, in Kenmore Square, and at The Loft, on Charles St. Probably some of the others will have entertainers during the summer, but you should check before you go. Some of the others are the Turk's Head, Cafe Yana, The Place, and the Gallery. Charles St. is no North Beach but the prices are reasonable...
...people died. Near Delaware Bay, Mrs. John Waters pulled her husband's head above water while six of their eight children drowned in their submerged car. When a Coast Guard amphibious duck overturned at Beach Haven Inlet, N.J., its nine occupants linked arms in waist-deep water, but loft. waves broke the chain, dragged two middle-aged couples to their deaths. Mrs. Ralph Poynton, 82, refused help as water leaped at the foundation of her Rehoboth Beach home, told rescuers: "I've got plenty of food, and there's a coal fire going in the kitchen range...
