...champion of all Europe. He had lost only two out of his 54 professional fights, and he was something of an oddity besides: a lefthander. Experts still sneered at Karl's credentials. For one thing, he had rarely chosen to fight away from Germany and the tender solicitude of German referees-like the one who forgot how to count when Mildenberger was flattened in the first round by unknown Dave Bailey last September. (Mildenberger eventually won the fight on points...
Goerner estimates that twelve days later a Japanese fishing boat reached the couple. They were taken aboard and later transferred either to the Japanese seaplane tender Kamoi or to the survey ship Koshu, which was known to be in the region. From his talks with natives, Goerner concludes that the flyers were taken first to Jaluit, then Kwajalein, and finally to Saipan, Japan's military headquarters in the Pacific; a number of Saipanese say that they saw a man and a woman who resembled Noonan and Earhart.

Several big department stores offer scrip instead of change, and grocers often make change in the form of potatoes or pieces of chocolate. Milan's San Siro race track pays off in scrip-good only at the track-and customers at Sorrento's Fauno Bar have been reduced to writing checks...
