...Latvian Flyer Herberts Cukurs took part in Latvia's freedom battles against the Bolsheviks from 1918 to 1920. Mr. Cukurs was like the American Lindbergh in aviation history.

The Ethiopian and Guinean delegations compared him to Hammarskjöld, while the Mali representative went one better and compared him to Hammarskjöld and John Kennedy...
...team, the nine hope that Harvard, stung by jealousy perhaps, will finally relent and let the 'Cliffe cheer the ten thousand in the Stadium. Though the prospects are remote, their practices sound like they mean it. The ancient walls of the Radcliffe Gym resound with their cries and Patriot anthems, and few go away unimpressed by the obvious sincerity of their "mash 'em" cheer...
