...only Publisher Knight's newspaper but the U.S. Chamber of Commerce fell for the alleged "$300,000 boondoggle" [May 20] in the President's national defense budget. The $300,000 is the sole Government contribution to a program which involves nearly 4,000 civilian rifle and pistol clubs in the U.S. These clubs are not the plush hunting clubs so graphically pictured in SPORTS ILLUSTRATED. They are modest clubs of marksmen who, on their own time, on their own ranges, and largely with their own weapons, keep alive the art of rifle marksmanship. The contribution made...

With only 18 dive bombers and six Zeros, Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi of the sole surviving carrier, Hiryu, put in a sudden, sharp attack against Yorktown, losing almost all of his aircraft but scoring three hits and starting fires. At 1245 Yamaguchi threw in his last ten torpedo bombers and six fighters, remnant of Nagumo's force of 250 plus, led by a lieutenant who knew he had only enough fuel for a one-way trip.

In the law he seemed to find something otherwise missing from most of his life. Says one observer: "His father was a lawyer-and his only mother...
...racer and a brakeman on an Italian railroad. The seventh child of a poor carpenter, he was brought up in Ravenna, considered a career in civil engineering before he turned to racing, in which he had only middling success. He was standing under the shower one day singing O Sole Mio when the cyclist in the stall next to him told him that he had a voice. Pinza prepped with a home-town voice teacher, was accepted by the conservatory at Bologna, made a whistle-stop debut with a small opera company, and departed for World...
