...letter had reached his church, one for every pastor who had ever tended the flock. That President Roosevelt himself had made a serious political mistake in ever having the invitation for "counsel and advice" sent out seemed pretty much of a fact last week.

Last week voracious General Tada called in 20 Japanese correspondents to give them...

Much greater would have been their alarm if they had known that inside the lurching plane its pilot and his one small assistant were desperately fending off the attack of a bull-strong U.
