...under him in a tremendous gale 840 miles from the coast of Chile. Besides the adventure of it, De Bisschop hoped to prove that Polynesian seafarers had colonized all the Pacific from Indonesia to South America. Last April he left Peru aboard a new raft bound for Tahiti, but wind, wave and current carried him far north until last week he and his crew faced the reef at Rakahanga...
...last week, Chicago's Auxiliary Bishop Raymond P. Hillinger said flatly that those who fail to accept the church's stand for full racial equality "simply are not Catholic, and there are no two ways about it."

"To cut wind resistance, I drive on my stomach," said Goldie Gardner. "A poor chap in an American hot rod has to sit upright-frightfully drafty." Flat out, Gardner, at a youthful 61, set 16 records in one day on Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats in 1951, 21 more (in one week) the next year...
