...twice was stalled. "The first time he deferred the matter to an indefinite later date. The second time, he was a little more adamant," remembers Lloyd. So Ann eloped. They were married in Newport, R.I., where Lloyd was attending the Navy's officers training school and living on seaman...
...ballrooms when they were thrown to the floor and heard that horrifying dissonance-unmistakable to anyone-that means a collision at sea. On the Stolt Dagali (which means "Pride of Dagali," a Norwegian town), bound for Newark with a crew of 43 and a cargo of vegetable oil, Seaman Sverre Thun-berg, 19, was jolted awake by that same sound, looked down from his bunk and saw sea water rising fast beneath him; Thunberg grabbed his toothbrush and razor, raced above decks and leaped into a lifeboat, even then being lowered over the side...

Born in Culver City, Calif., the son of a Swedish-immigrant machinist, he had been raised in an atmosphere of religion: the Evangelical Covenant Church of America, an offshoot of Lutheranism.

...circus itself, in its seamy, gaudy splendor, was Calder's first fascination. He tried many trades, from lumberjack to able seaman; he was graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology in 1919 as a mechanical engineer. Drawing came naturally, and five years out of college he signed on as an illustrator for the National Police Gazette. To his delight, one day he was assigned to sketch the circus. Barnum & Bailey was so pleased that it gave him a free entrance pass. He followed the American artists' trail to Paris, where he made his own toy circus in which...
