...goggles were shipped off and my helmet began to lift up in the slip stream; I realized I hadn't undone my straps so I pulled out the retain ing pin and stood up, standing on anything which came handy (the seat, the instrument panel or the stick, I don't know really...
...Winship, leader of the Crimson snow troops last year, profited by a short session of skiing in Alaska last summer and is in tip-top condition now. Also a superb stylist, "Glacial Tom" can enter four events, but will probably stick to the downhill and slalom, although he may venture into the jump if needed.

Andre Kostelanetz is a competent stick-waver, and on records and the radio he plays, not symphonies and not jazz, but the kind of music plain people really like: his arrangements of "standard" pieces, Victor Herbert and such, beautifully done up in balanced brass, reed and string tones, as rich as a lobster Newburg well laced with sherry...
