Born in Omaha's meat-packing district, of Lithuanian immigrant parents, John George Goodman was practically unknown when he calmly drove up to the Pebble Beach course in 1929 and qualified for the U. S. Amateur. The following day the 19-year-old Omaha Kid made the front pages when he eliminated Bobby Jones in the first round of match play. But in his home town Johnny Goodman had long been front-page news, was as much a part of Omaha as its stockyards. He first appeared in the news in 1916 when...
Contrasting conditions with those related by two Loyalist deserters who recently landed in Boston, Bangs felt that the aid of Germany and Italy on the Rebel side made things pretty nice. "Food! Good Lord what meals: fresh vegetables, plenty of meat, mmmmm!" and he continued to tell of feasts that would cause even the palate of a Lucius Beebe to water.

S. composer. Praised were its skillful instrumentation and the rugged climax of its final movement. Noted also was an emotional juiciness hitherto...
Despite this greater candor, critics are not likely to describe Saturday Evening Post stories as very strong meat. Of the 22 in Post Stories of 1937, seven follow its classic pattern of a happy ending with marriage or its promise, and three others salute the beginnings of romance in their last sentences. The favorite story of Post writers is that of an inconspicuous worthy who is pushed around at first, finally comes out on top, usually triumphing over some flashier rival in the process. They tell it expertly, with no waste motions, sometimes with humor, frequently with a good deal...
