...girl can have a career and still be a good wife-but mostly because through her more of the milk of human kindness is available in all quarters than ever before," New York World's Fair Chairman Harvey D. Gibson bestowed a citation for distinguished service on sleek and sloe-eyed World's Fair cow Elsie...
...present both primary and secondary students are flying six days a week, the latter using sleek 220 horse power Wacos. Thirty-five hours of flying is the minimum in the primary training course and students in the secondary will build up 40 beginning with periods of an hour.

Arch-independent Mason also bucked the trend by yanking all the fancy work off the higher-priced Nash-giving it a sleek, custom-made appearance.

Among sleek, ICC-conscious latterday railroad presidents, massive (300-lb.), buffalo-bearded, uncompromising Leonor Loree seemed a gaudy symbol of the roaring '80s, when he began his long career. In 60 years he headed more roads, introduced more permanent operating innovations, made a higher salary ($100,000) than any surviving railroader. His last spectacular gesture came in 1933, when he bought his way (for $10,000,000) into the No. 1 stockholder's seat...
