...SUBMARINES. When the Democrats assumed power, the U.S. had 14 nuclear subs, the Russians none. Today the U.S. fleet has 76 atom-fueled submarines and the Soviet Union...
...Johnson City's native son has showered largesse on his home hill country. First, in New Deal days, came the Lower Colorado River Authority, whose dams harnessed and tamed waters that had ravaged the countryside.

Old Trouper Jimmy Durante also dates his dislike of flying...

If Hoffman had been judged guilty of conspiring, it is probable that the U.S. would not have entered a boat in the finals since individuals on Harvard's crew were not willing to row without...
