...make the little pits that sprinters need to leap from if they do not use blocks, the raw air seemed to tighten up the muscles beneath Tolan's ebony skin. The pistol cracked. In a fraction of a second the first hunched, speed-gathering strides were over. Somehow Simpson had drawn a yard and a half in front. He was running in his famed "classic" style, his head back, his knees pumping out and up. Tolan, built so close to the ground that experts argue lack of wind resistance as one reason for his speed, was at his shoulder...
...custom requires, the first fish caught in the Bangor, Me. salmon pools?this year an 11-lb. grilse?was sent to the White House for presentation to the President.

Two years later Trotsky escaped. On the fake passport friends provided he wrote the name Trotsky: of his several aliases that one somehow stuck. In London he met Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin), worked with him on the Iskra, revolutionary magazine. Lenin and Trotsky had many a difference of opinion and one serious argument: Trotsky left Lenin for the Mensheviki (moderates), but during the Revolution became a Bolshevik again. Says he of Lenin...
...Mayo Brothers started saving half their incomes; put it into a special fund. Says Dr. Will: "I know it might sound mawkish . . . like egotism . . . but that money seemed, somehow, like holy money to us." Today this "holy money" is said to amount to $13,000,000. All of this will go to the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, connected with the University of Minnesota. This was founded in 1915 with a gift...
