...disemboweled fish at the end of a quarter-mile trail of destruction. Scattered along this were shreds of cloth, lipsticks and compacts, magazines, pieces of sheet music, and, almost touching an oil-drenched cylinder torn from a motor, a copy of Look Homeward Angel which friends of the stewardess later said was hers. The cabin had not caught fire but was broken in two like an exploded firecracker. One wing was wrapped around the cabin; a landing wheel had crunched through. Some of the twelve bodies were scattered far from the wreck and most were mangled almost beyond recognition...

From Cleveland he wrote, ''The stewardess-hostess-trained nurse, who is here to take care of you, has perfect teeth, very fine yellow-grey eyes and a green dress."

Secretary Carranza sentenced him to an eight-day suspension without pay, called a policeman to help enforce the sentence. Intolerable was that affront to the polysyllabic dignity of the Union de Obreros y Empleados de las YMCA, which consists of 77 cooks, waiters, janitors, clerks...
Most roomers left the building. A few hung grimly on without water, light or service until the Federal Department of Public Health ordered them out last week because of sanitary conditions. Strikers said they would not come back, until Secretary Carranza and Stewardess Uranga had been dismissed. Before they would dismiss secretary and stewardess, replied the Board of Trustees, they would put the Mexico City Association and its Chihuahua branch into voluntary bankruptcy, send the Y. M. C.
