...take no long campaign trip, because in the present state of international affairs he "did not want to be away from his desk for more than five days," after his study of the state of political affairs with Mr. Hurja his projected journey by last week had grown twice that long. To Washington he went for three days to clean up official business. But the three days dwindled...
...times the airship Hindenburg flew the Atlantic. Two Lufthansa flying boats made the trip twice. Beryl Clutterbuck Markham accomplished the hard East-to-West passage solo. Crooner Harry Richman and Pilot Dick Merrill went over and back. Meantime the Blixen-Bjorkvall Bellanca, loaded with ping-pong balls like Harry Richman's Lady Peace, never left the ground.

It is, moreover, an unusual bloc, representing almost complete freedom of choice and a devoted interest in political affairs...
Cartright did not return to Carnegie Tech. By the process of painfully rehabilitating himself to a silent world he could never again see, he traveled through Europe and the Orient. Today he appears before the microphones of radio stations KFAB and KOIL, Omaha, Neb., twice daily to interpret international affairs, though he cannot see to read or hear his voice. He keeps abreast of the news by reading with one finger the lips of his secretary. On the air he talks from Braille notes, speaks clearly and without hesitation, and stops when his fifteen minutes are up by feeling...
