Ringsiders were left to wonder what would happen next time Graziano fought someone his own size. Fusari, a welterweight who is twelve pounds lighter than Middleweight (159½ Ibs.) Rocky, had made his heavier foe look ridiculous for most of the first nine rounds. Some of Rocky's haymakers missed by feet, not inches. In the second round, he missed a right so awkwardly that he landed on the seat of his pants-with a slight shove from Fusari. For playing the role of punching bag, and almost upsetting the dope, talented, clean-living Charlie Fusari collected...
Last week the 29th International Congress of Americanists, meeting in New York's American Museum of Natural History, was confronted by a striking exhibit of New World cultural elements which look as if they came from Asia. Assembled by Dr. Gordon F. Ekholm of the Museum's staff, they were intended as a challenge to the convening Americanists. Said he: "I just wanted to see if they could explain the stuff...
Among the exhibits, however, there were still a few pieces to startle conservatives. Charles Eames's canvas-and-plastic chair with ventilated seat looked for all the world like an atomic-age version of a toilet seat.

...June 1912, at a little airbase near Washington, D.C., 2nd Lieut. Henry Harley ("Hap") Arnold had a conversation that five-star General Arnold still likes to remember. Infantry Captain Billy Mitchell, 32, had just come back from Japan where he had had a look at the Japanese army. Did Lieut. Arnold know that the Japs had a bigger air force than the U.S.-ten planes to the U.S.'s total of four? Captain Mitchell was writing a paper for the War College on the future of military aviation, but since he had not yet learned to fly he needed...
From the retirement of his California ranch, the former commander of the world's greatest air force has told his story in Global Mission. Readers had better not look for the overall grasp of high-level problems that marked Robert Sherwood's Roosevelt and Hopkins or for the tersely marshaled facts and concise, West Point English of General Dwight Eisenhower's Crusade in Europe. But Hap Arnold's military life spans the whole life of military aviation, and no one now living can speak with more authority about the growth of air power. Global Mission...
