...photograph of Mr. Wendell L. Willkie, which is included in the number of Aug. 26. It is astounding that any magazine could print such an obviously retouched and apparently intentionally distorted photograph as a true likeness of anyone.

...Army last week. Reason: "the threat of capitalist encirclement." Troops of the Western Military District opened their regular fall maneuvers near the frontiers of German Poland and Rumania. In the rich Ukraine the city of Kiev was peppered with mock bombs. The Red Navy completed summer maneuvers off the brand-new Soviet Republics of Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, which now constitute the Baltic Military District.

Signed, they would permit Pan Am to lop two days off its five-day, 5,777-mile run from Miami down to Rio de Janeiro...
...half-mile oval) was the question among the 100,000 spectators who lined the Gold Cup course last week. Among the experts, the favorites were Zalmon Simmons' My Sin, winner last year with an average speed of 66 m.p.h., and Herbert Mendelson's brand-new Notre Dame, successor to the original Notre Dame that won the 1937 race. Sentimentalists hoped that Gar Wood Jr., driving his little Tinker Toy (a converted 18-ft. runabout with which he was making his debut in big-time inboard racing), might follow in the wake of his famed father, four-time Gold...
