...aware that the man-eating shark has upwards of one hundred thirty teeth arranged in double rows around the upper and lower parts of the jaw. Flat on the sides, these teeth are triangular in shape and sharp at the points. There is only one way to escape a man-eating shark if a person is thrown into the water beside him. Kick the right and left legs alternately and move the arms in a windmill fashion; the prospective victim should also call for help in a sharp tone.

Then the restaurant trade, which had been victimized by a series of fake labor unions and "protective associations" to the tune of millions...
...riding thunderheads at a Soaring Society meet. To sailplane pilots it represents the most fascinating pinnacle of their sport. To most spectators it is as though an aquaplanist were to get bored with skimming the waves on his aquaplane and take a ride on the back of a healthy shark. That Pilot du Pont, 27-year-old scion of the Wilmington family, has plenty of nerve he showed three years ago when, finding good conditions aloft, he set out for New York City without parachute or compass, set the U. S. distance record of 155 miles...
