Case suggested Chadwick to Watkins, who made a long-distance call to Chester. The Senator got nothing more than a reluctant maybe. But last week Chadwick, a quiet, vigorous yo-year-old, went to Washington to talk to Watkins, and the two men liked each other. Chadwick, an enemy of the local G.O.P. machine, served only one term in Congress before being plowed under at the polls.

(Tentative applause swept the room.) "Any player who is unpleasantly drunk, bottle or no bottle, will also be barred." (More applause.) "If anyone is intoxicated but pleasant, he can play. We're not bluenoses." (Cheers...
...Consolidated Vultee's huge Fort Worth plant last week, a quiet ceremony hailed the last of a long line of famed warbirds. Out rolled the final production model of Convair's ten-engined B-36 bomber, the postwar workhorse of the U.S. Strategic Air Command. In all, something like 400 had been made...
