Spectators in a crowded courtroom in Kansas City stirred expectantly one day last week when a trim young woman clad in a grey dress and a white hat climbed onto the witness stand. She was Mary McElroy, daughter of Kansas City's City Manager. Two months prior she had been abducted for $30,000 ransom (TIME, July...
...ripped the day before. In an ocean race-where time allowances based on sail area, beam, displacement are made to give the smaller yachts an even chance-crossing the finish line first is usually brief satisfaction. Winner of last week's race was not the Flame but the trim 21-ton, 37-ft. yawl that followed her into port six hours later-the famed Dorade, owned by Roderick Stephens Jr., 23, who was her captain last week and his brother Olin, 24, her designer. On corrected time, Flame dropped into third place and another U. S. boat, Henry...

Last week, having prettied up the trim Tabor-Boy, 18 Sea Scouts (none over 16 years) manned her for an eight-week cruise to the World's Fair. With Headmaster Lillard and Captain Lewis in command, the boys were assigned regular watches, holding all posts from able seaman up through bos'n and quartermaster to first mate. They sailed the Tabor-Boy down to New York, putt-putted up the Hudson to Albany where the 85-ft. masts were unstepped to clear the bridges along the canal to Buffalo and the Great Lakes. At ports of call along...
...gave him the Undersecretariat of Air. Disgruntled were famed Italian flyers who thought they rated the job. But Undersecretary Balbo was no swivel, chair cabinet officer. He learned to fly ably. He developed the navigation school at Orbetello and a high speed school at Lake Garda where trim Macchi seaplanes lately wrested the world's speed record (423 m.p.h.) from Great Britain. He developed a system of six airlines on which not a single passenger has been killed in three years. He built up Italy's military air power from fourth place to a position second only...
