...crazy versions of mariachi tunes, Russian melodies, Italian arias; but mostly he just spouts pocho like so much fast doubletalk. His only complete gag is feeble: Roosevelt and Churchill in mud up to the waist and the neck, with Hitler in mud only to the ankles-because, comes the tag line, he is standing on Göring's shoulders. But spiked with pocho, it brings down the house...
Engineer Crowe has changed the physical landscape perhaps more than any other individual in history. Born 61 years ago of American parents in Trenholmville, Quebec, he grew up playing tag across the log jams of Maine's great Ossippe River.

The Court ruled him subject to CAA regulation even though "the flights in question were not commercial in character and ... no commercial air routes were entered...
Visitors to their latest (28th) show, at American Fine Arts Society Galleries, were stunned by a blitz of colors, jostled by a rag-tag army of sculpture. Female nudes hung cheek by jowl with Biblical allegories, surrealistic enigmas, affectionate rural landscapes. There were sculptured paintings, painted sculpture. Exhibits were price-marked from $5 to $10,000. At week's end there had been seven sales...
