...Bermuda. From New London, Conn., started 42 stout-hulled yachts, big and little schooners, ketches, sloops, some with modern sails, some with gaff rigs, Genoa jibs, fishermen's staysails, all bound for Hamilton, Bermuda. All were well provisioned, for sometimes it takes twelve days to get there. No boat has ever been sent out for stragglers; they all get in somehow. There have been accidents, torn sails, broken masts, but no one has ever been lost. Each captain picked his own course, looking for wind. First to reach Hamilton was Dr. George W. Warren's Yankee Girl...
...most versatile writers (in subject-matter) of his century. Son of Professional Cricketer Joseph Wells, he was educated as a biologist, has written on religion, science, history, politics, international relations, socialism, tactics, education, philosophy.

Vice President McNeil said to Mrs. Dayton: "You are the heroine...
Through the crowd to Blenheim's bridle elbowed a stout, swarthy man in morning clothes, top hat and thick glasses-the Aga Khan III, spiritual head of 12,000,000 Shiite Mohammedans. Unperturbed by his religious responsibilities, he lives in France with his young French wife, daughter of a middleclass, provincial businessman, and raises thoroughbreds. "Proudest moment of my life" said he. "But you know, I didn't have a shilling...
Unfortunately the climax of our congratulations involves "Pink and White" whose family tree was so meticulously portrayed to the great melting pot. Only when a new-world brew settles into layers does it become interested in those of Ale and Stout. It then seems to limit its interest to the foam on the top. TIME therefore felt justified, or at least prudent, in devoting so much space to the Ancestry of "Pink and White...
