With a cavernous, crashing rumble and roar which made thousands of people stir in their sleep, and with a titanic splash and spuming which only a few noctambulating tourists beheld, the Niagara River did early one morning last week something that it has not done since 1850-chewed off another giant chunk of the ledge which makes Niagara Falls. The new notch in the falls' brink is about 150 ft. wide, 250 ft. deep. Geologists say that the 40,000-year-old falls will eventually be slanted back into a long series of rapids beginning near Tonawanda...
...unobtrusively in the offing, taking notes. Overboard went the Artiglio's two chief divers, Alberto Gianni and S. Francesci. After them were lowered special mines which were intended to blow up the hulk of the Florence H. Suddenly the sea rose like a bubble, burst with a deafening roar into towers of spray. The little Artiglio was tossed in the air like a child's toy, broke in two, sank instantly. Only seven of her crew of 21 were picked up alive. Rescuers found the lifeless bodies of Divers Gianni...
...more friends outside the academic grove than in Cambridge, and it is debatable whether the under-graduates appreciate good reading. Nobody can read the Bible like him.

Men and women from everywhere-mostly Russians, but Tartars too, Uzbeks, Little Russians, White Russians, Tadjiks, Chinese students and a group of Communist literati from New York, just arrived but exulting with the boldest. Thus last week Moscow staged one of the largest, most impressive demonstrations in Soviet history, as her second, epochal Counter-Revolutionary Trial began (TIME...
From 75,000 people-reputedly the biggest crowd that ever watched a sporting event in Spain-a roar went up. Paulino Uzcudun, Basque woodchopper who for several years has been an exacting and dangerous trial horse for U. S. heavyweights, rushed out of his corner in Montjuich Stadium, Barcelona, and tried to hit Primo Camera, Italian Brobdingnag. His swing was short. Camera stretched out a long left hand and set him back on his heels. Squat, hairy-chested, his gold teeth gleaming in his dwarfish face, Paulino in his perpetual crouch, with his elbows swinging, resembled some kind of beetle...
