Robeson took that plane, but it was delayed 50 minutes in loading at New York. The singer and his entourage arrived at Logan at 5:30, contacted Beveridge, and were told that it was too late to make an appearance. The audience which packed the New Lecture Hall--revised site of the speech--started to file out about 5:30, after a wait made tense by expectation of an anti-Robeson demonstration. It was practically gone at 5:50 when Beveridge told the few left in the Hall that Robeson could not come...
When the mud on the 500-acre site got so deep that supervisors could hardly walk or drive around, Colbert had a typical Texas solution: hire 25 horses from a local riding academy.

The move said General Foods' Board Chairman Clarence Francis, was not influenced by any fear that New York might be bombed. For ten years, said he, General Foods has been planning to get its executives under one roof and to give its New York office workers a setting similar...
Many moons ago, when a tribe of Haida Indians was searching for a new camp site, a famed chief named Jumping Brook led the way to Kitimat, a coastal flatland in the rugged northwest portion of what is now British Columbia. Two aspects of the Kitimat site appealed to Chief Jumping Brook. It was near the sea (the Haidas built ocean-going canoes), and there was plenty of fresh water in the chain of lakes and rivers a short distance inland...
