Dark days came for Poland as the Russians began to come out of their endless birch forests and drift westward, seeking a place in Europe. The era culminated in the three partitions of Poland in 1772, 1793 and 1795. At the end, there was no Poland; Russia, Prussia and Austria had swallowed everything...
Seemingly endless streams of U.S. and British medium bombers, protected by snarling fighters, whipped across the Channel from rain-soaked English airfields. In one 36-hour period, 4,000 Allied planes dropped their bombloads, came back without a single loss in combat. Some formations took 45 minutes to pass over Dover. Window-jarring explosions swept across the narrow waters. For the first time since the Eighth Air Force and the R.A.F. staged a practice preliminary around Boulonge (TIME, Sept. 20), heavy day and night bombers shifted from the strategic assault on Germany to tactical assault on the invasion coast...
Jimmie recalls endless gin, playing variations on Tea for Two for days on end, jamming at Harlem's Rhythm Club with youthful Duke Ellington, Art Tatum and Fats Waller, writing a bale of tunes for Broadway producers.

But Judy, unimpressed by Rooney as romance, finds Rooney the man "wonderful, one of my closest...
...more & more as it failed to work out, and which he grew more & more fond of as the other successful ideas raced on to practical accomplishment while the failure stayed in the laboratory. Old Peter Cooper's pet was a continuous chain drive for boats. He planned an endless chain, run by water power, along the Erie Canal. He got Governor Clinton's approval, and set up an experimental unit that pulled a boat eight miles an hour against the current of the East River. But farmers along the canal, who sold feed to the tow mules, refused...
