Furthermore, civilian netting in rural and small-town North Carolina did not answer the defense questions of Manhattan, Pittsburgh, Chicago, San Francisco, around which lie vast patchworks of smaller cities, replete with well nigh indispensable lights, ground noises to dull groundling ears, an appalling number of dispersed targets for enemy hunters. Army men neatly turned this fact to their publicity uses. In North Carolina was concentrated all the modern antiaircraft equipment east of the Rocky Mountains. Twenty-four guns, in six batteries, were barely enough to defend the 1½-square mile objective marked off at Fort Bragg...
...Scripps-Howard Pittsburgh Press hailed the tip as "a great ad for Mr. Annenberg's racing publications," suggested that the Inquirer "predict a daily double on the Supreme Court."

S. championships, three Canadian championships, and winner of an average of 20 tournaments a year since she won her first prize in 1895. Now married to a Princeton banker, Dorothy lona Campbell...
...railroad-the Nickel Plate (New York, Chicago & St. Louis R. R.)-from the New York Central for $8,500,000. The road made money steadily for 15 years. But between 1927 and 1929 the Vans made a second, less prudent purchase. After a spectacular tussle with the Taplin interests (Pittsburgh & West Virginia R.
