...Francisco's art museum is a small segment of an elaborate $6,000,000 development called the Civic Center & War Memorial, flanking the City Hall. One of twin classical buildings is the Opera House, opened with great trumpetings three years ago (TIME, Oct. 17, 1932).

Packard had dipped into the high-medium-priced field with sixes and eights at various times but never before into...
...Breese's $8,000 dive brought Builder Northrop the biggest Army aircraft order in years - no attack planes at a cost of $1,896,400. The new Northrops all-metal, low-wing monoplanes have a topspeed of nearly 280 m.p.h., will probably be powered with the new Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp double-bank radial engines. Well pleased at his bargain was Builder Northrop as he handed Pilot Breese $8,000 for his 15 seconds' work...
