...adipose individuals with twin bellies swagger before a packed Young's Hotel auditorium of Curley supporters. On the stage with them, twenty other persons, some fat, some thin, none with bellies to compare with the two leaders of the gathering, rock and away to the strains of "Mother Machree." A tear glistens on the check of the adipose one on the left. Unashamed he wipes it away. The band ceases its dripping strains...
...eventually." And last year Roscoe Turner began "coming in first" until today he is the outstanding speed pilot of the U. S. His rivals sneer at his clothes, at his brash statements that he is "a bit of a hero to the boys of the country," at his public swagger, but there could be no sneering at the flying records that he has won in the stiffest competition. His speed racing began in earnest in 1930 when he first broke the East-West transcontinental record...

He kidnaps her in the desert, sings to her, takes her to his native village, beats her, lets her go back to Cairo to marry her Britisher, abducts her once more...
...monoplane shot up from Floyd Bennett Field, N. Y. one morning last week, tore through 2,500 mi. of stiff west wind, landed at Burbank, Calif. 12 hr. 22 min. later, more than two hours under the westbound record. The pilot was big-framed Roscoe Turner who wears a swagger uniform of his own design and used to keep a mascot lion. The plane was a Wedell-Williams speedster of the type which made the eastbound record (10 hr. 19 min.) last September...
