Weaving among spruce citizens and loutish peasants, whirling to the strains of native music, they had just begun to enjoy themselves when suddenly at 10 p. m. explosion after explosion tore the air, broke windows and set women screaming as flames leaped up into the night. "Mother of God it's the President's Palace!" cried husky voices. "A Revolution! They've blown up the President!" Pale but courageous, as the children of a Latin American president have...
...shares of OWS. Last sale stood on the board at 38, but as he offered his stock the other brokers bid the price down as fast as it had risen.

His time: 11 hr. 30 min. Less than a half-hour later Jimmy Wedell himself tore across the finish line, adding second honors to first for his ships. No other planes finished the race. Where were the Gee-Bee's? They had come to grief, and in the same place- Indianapolis. One, piloted by Russell Thaw, 22, modest, handsome son of Evelyn Nesbit & Harry Kendall...
