...Marshall Field, apologies for an evident error. TIME'S statement was based on information that apparently came from the horse's mouth: Publisher Adam Powell told TIME'S correspondent covering the Negro publishers' convention that Mr. Field was indeed his backer and had at luncheon only the day before extended him "another $25,000 credit...
...Hawaiian volcano, has a more unique interest than its commoner companion piece, but both display mature style and original talent of which the reader may hope to see more. Norman Mailer's "Maybe Next Year" is in the nature of an experiment in objective subjectivity.

Even pure oxygen cannot ward off bad muscular coordination; and the body and brain become weary, slow down above 35,000 to 40,000 ft. The human body, which lives a hand-to-mouth existence at any altitude, stores up little or no oxygen. The greatest hazard for altitude airmen is their conviction that they are perfectly all right when a reduced oxygen supply actually makes them act silly...
