One story read from right to left, the top and bottom decks of a headline were transposed, the sports-page date was upside down, and the logotype read: THE OREGONIAN OREGON JOURNAL.

Five months after his graduation, he fell out of formation, crashed his plane into a ditch at Kelly Field, was so badly injured that he was first taken to a local morgue. Both legs were crushed, his skull fractured. After nearly a year in a San Antonio hospital, Beatie was still so badly crippled that he was forced to retire from the Army...

...humble beginning, spare, jaunty McKay built up a political career along with a thriving Chevrolet agency, rose from state senator to Governor (1949-53).
