...mile sprint around a ten-mile triangle, it is the only rival in popularity to the Bendix Race, which it last week paralleled in results almost completely. With the best U. S. pilots out because of their accidents in the Bendix, the Thompson was left to a parcel of minor U. S. racers, one foreign ace-France's huge, 31-year-old Michel Detroyat. Close friend of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, whom he was instrumental in rescuing from Le Bourget crowds after the New York-Paris flight in 1927, Detroyat is France's best stunt flyer, has twice...

Even now his eye wanders when visitors babble about the almost flagrant picturesqueness of the acres of neo-Gothic and neo-Colonial stone and brick with which some $60,000,000 of Edward Stephen Harkness' and the late John William...
...Moore: "Do you mean to say you are going to drink that?" Moore tasted it, called the waiter in high dudgeon, made a scene. Once he got in a row with some spinster neighbors who tore up a copy of one of his books, sent the pieces in a parcel to Moore, marked "Too filthy to keep in the house." Every night thereafter Moore would rattle his stick on their railing to make their dogs bark. He also stoned the spinsters' cat, because he said it was after a blackbird that sang in his garden. Both sides appealed...
