...Cochrane was Gordon Stanley ("Mickey") Cochrane, catcher and manager of the Detroit Tigers. His condition, concussion of the brain and a triple skull fracture, was the result of being hit on the head by a baseball thrown by Pitcher Irving ("Bump") Hadley of the New York Yankees. Pitcher Hadley had hit Catcher Cochrane accidentally. Nonetheless, the mishap, which baseball experts predicted would end both Catcher Cochrane's playing career and the chances of the Tigers to win the American League pennant this season, revived an uproar about "bean balls" which has been a feature of the 1937 major-league...
With luck, Author Wilkins thinks Kidd might have stayed on the right side of the law. But his luck was out. His crew, a hard lot, was mutinous, more than half piratical from the start.

Flying one day from Washington to Cleveland, a Pennsylvania Airliner ran into a patch of bumpy air near Harper's Ferry, Va.

...think nothing of a little saliva-and J. Stalin is to his grim fingertips an Oriental, a Georgian brigand, bomb-thrower and safe-blower who is now on terms of diplomatic friendship with fellow Dictators, Presidents, Kings.

If there were no Trotsky, or if Trotsky should be assassinated, the Ogpu would have to invent another Trotsky to serve purposes not wholly different from those served...
...transformations of this chameleon edifice, stood aghast as they watched it become something it had never been before : a snowy mountain top. From the centre of the arena floor to the top of the gallery-so close to the roof a skier had to crouch so as not to bump his head- stretched a 152-ft, 45-degree ski slide, covered with artificial snow. Set in the white pavilion of the arena floor were two miniature skating ponds. It was New York's first wintersports show, patterned on wintersports shows in Boston last year and last fortnight...
