They turned south on Main Street (see map), away from the cluster of tall buildings which give northwest Kansas City its impressive skyline - a skyline dominated by the 30-story, $6,000,000 city hall, built during the Pendergast days and still much too large for the city's needs. They passed the two-story, yellow brick building at 1908 Main, where Old Tom Pendergast's greedy fingers had pulled the strings. The lights there were still on ; Jim Pendergast's men were measuring their defeat...
...listing of the expert quality of the geographers in the University, the large map collection, the Geographical Institute building, and the integration of Geography with other fields in the University was corroborated by a lengthy report recently submitted to President Conant by 18 graduate students in the field...
...map of the Egyptian littoral, General Omar Bradley, Army chief of staff, lectured Congressmen on the problem of maintaining a hypothetical 20-group air force within "effective" striking distance of Russia.

The ground troops alone-to say nothing of 125,000 Air Force officers and men-would require 12,500 tons of supplies daily. Movement of this tonnage from the U.S. and protection of this one base from sea attack would involve a major naval force...

The wind may never reach England, but the long, low swells, sweeping along at 70 miles an hour, much faster than ordinary ocean waves, do not stop until they hit a shoreline. Dr. Deacon has measured waves at Pendeen which came all the way from a storm off Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America...
