Saint-Gaudens added a flowing cloak of copper sheets, so she could act as a wind vane as well, and up she went on the Garden tower, to twirl on a swivel before the prevailing breeze. New York fell in love at first sight. She became the protectress of the cat show, the horse show, the sportsmen's show, the prizefights and circuses. Around 1905, a severe storm ripped away her cloak; from then on she was bolted securely down. She presided over William Jennings Bryan's nomination for President, saw Jack Dempsey knock out Bill Brennan...

Other long-lost scores, such as the charming and perky Wind Quintet by Ponchielli (of La Gioconda fame) were found in editions long out of print...
...Brien brought the company back to profits so far this year of $9,728,000, the highest earnings figure since 1959. MGM has sparingly sold off its film library to television, still has 1,200 films in the vault, including Gone With the Wind, for which the company turned down a $10 million TV offer and which it is about to release for a seventh round of movie-house showings.

During 1937-39 the industry became very safety conscious, practically discontinued convertible models. By 1940 the trend was broken and all makes were offering...
...bottom of the aircraft without causing aerodynamic drag. "We consider the ACLG a complete technological breakthrough in landing systems," says David Perez, civilian project officer in the Flight Dynamics Laboratory at Wright-Patterson A.F.B., Dayton. And so last year, the Air Force awarded Bell a $99,000 contract for wind-tunnel tests of the ACLG. Now Bell has won a second contract for $98,700 to study possible use of its ACLG on the Air Force's C-119 "Flying Boxcar" transport...
