...traditionally accustomed to "sneaking up on one another"- in a commercial way-and hamstringing one another through one another's trade sinews. The New England manufacturers had begun this cutlass-heaving, had grown potent - in a commercial way. Southern manufacturers, as they set themselves up along the Atlantic coastal plain, acquired the same tactics. This became all the easier when the New Englanders commenced filtering south for the sake of the cheap mountain labor of Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama. And last week these bitter competitors were bid to an agape, a love feast. As they assembled...
Four columns of Italian colonial troops set out with two detachments of machine gunners last week to mop up the Jebel-el-Akdar, a mountainous rebel-infested region, whence the peace of Italian Cyrenaica?a coastal area directly across the Mediterranean from Greece?is often threatened...

By automobile it is more pleasant; the roads are excellent and through the Pennsylvania mountains there are gorgeous views. But best of all is to fly it. Then you can soar above the farmlands, circle and behold the cities like great wens on the face of nature, swoop up and over the mountains, dallying if you like on the long downward slant to peer off east to the continent...
