...Cyrus Hermann Kotzschmar Curtis's The Country Gentleman. It was called "My Life For Aviation." Editor Philip Sheridan Rose accepted the story, changed its title to ''How I Learned to Fly," ordered it to be inserted in the September issue. The name of the authoress was Marvel Crosson. Last week as some 1,600,000 copies of The Country Gentleman were about to appear, Aviatrix Crosson was killed while flying from Santa Monica, Cal., to Cleveland in the Women's Air Derby (see p. 50). Obviously unable to recall the issue, Editor Rose waited...

We, all of us, are so at the mercy of his 11 Trovatore musicians that plumbers have become demigods shattering the peace of our bedrooms and laying waste our bankrolls. I know a God-fearing man who got drunk for a week after a little fairy of a plumber got into his home for one day. It took the God-fearing citizen a year to find his religion again.
