This was a truculent spirit headed for war. When war came in 1917, he was among the first to enlist, one of the earliest transfers to the Army Signal Corps' budding air arm. After that, there was no turning for him. "I have tasted of the air," he wrote his father, "and I cannot get it out of my craw...
...moon is proving useful as well as decorative. The Army Signal Corps announced last week that it is sending Teletype messages by ultrahigh frequency radio bounced off the moon. Transmitted from Benson, Ariz., the waves speed to the moon and reflect from its scratchy surface back to Encino, N. Mex., a total distance of 480,000 miles. Travel time: 2.6 sec. The message could have been received about as well at any place where the moon was visible...

From there on, with the help of a first-rate cast (Tenors Norman Kelley and David Lloyd, Bass Baritone Donald...

The danger signal was an open-palmed slap, slap, slap on the bald dome, often followed by the saliva-flecked roar, "You are a broken reed I" If Gulbenkian was something of a solid gold Scrooge, he also had Scroogian fears. According to Young, the sordid 1920 murder of a Manhattan pawnbroker named Gulbenkian, no kin, scared him out of ever visiting the U.S. He reputedly kept a ton and a half of gold in his London safes, presumably against...
