...work for London Records. Where Gingold dramatizes the poems, Sitwell chants her surrealistic lines like a hypnotist, sometimes at breakneck speed. "We sought to reach a country between music and poetry, like the border between waking and dreaming." Sir Osbert Sitwell has explained. Gingold and Oberlin are too wide-awake...
...Harvard was at the Columbia 21. Then Bilodeau faked a quick pass to Dockery over the middle, a play he had used twice before. Dockery stopped, then took off, and was behind his man. He was in the end zone, but Bilodeau's pass was just a bit wide. Dockery dragged his feet trying to stay in bounds but an official ruled that he was outside the line.

On the ground, the plane can navigate through muck and mud by use of a steerable nosewheel, and it can be fitted out with pontoons for a water landing...
