...remarkable because Doolittle was boxing out of his class in weight-a light heavyweight in the heavyweight group. The incident, which is local legend hereabouts, and much retold, was an early proof of the quick-thinking faculty Doolittle has so often exhibited in flying. A friend of mine who saw him "sail out" at Cleveland says that many a pilot near the hangars said "Even if he is a caterpillar, he's still the greatest in the air."

Perhaps it is this sex sympathy which has enabled her to untie many heretofore tightly tangled Elizabethan knots. Embracing the political implications of the virgin's reign - the development of England's insularity, the alienation of the continent-she fails however to suggest as strongly as did Strachey the lusty temper of the times, the era gorgeous with talent...
