Where Was the Fireman? Some of the commuters were as lucky as Land. One arm and one foot broken. Trainman Joe McDonald struggled to the door of the first coach and, in a welter of lifeless bodies, floated up to sunlight. Lloyd Nelson, 33. of Little Silver, N.J.. a survivor of the Pennsylvania Railroad wreck at Woodbridge, N.J. in 1951 (84 dead), had got a window open before his coach splashed into the bay. From the dangling car some passengers crawled hand over hand up the luggage racks to take rescuing ropes and hands. But Snuffy Stirnweiss died...
Kansas City, Mo. last week unveiled its handsomest sculptural adornment, a towering group surrounded by fountains on the paved mall near the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art. The bronze statues, paid for with money from schoolchildren and local organizations, were dedicated to Kansas City's greatest philanthropist, German-born William Volker, a household-goods merchant (picture frames, window shades) who became a multimillionaire, gave away an estimated $10 million in charity before he died in 1947.

Pondered Leonard Hall: "There's magic in that name. I figured it would be just the opposite, that I'd go in and shake a woman's hand and that'd be that. Rockefeller did the same thing, and the women jumped for joy. I guess I didn't have that political sex appeal...
...good for a community. Of course if it gets the kids back to school, that's wonderful. What I think is interesting is that we prove the station has an adult appeal. A parent might be disgusted because of a station's playing Elvis Presley or Ricky Nelson. She'll say, 'Go out and play. Turn off the damn radio. Stop listening to that junk.' Now she hears that station telling that kid to go back to school. She says, 'Listen...
