Monroe is a speedy forward whose scoring spree was stopped but once this year, and this halt was called by the Crimson guards in the January upset...
Chicago: London, when war was declared in 1939, was nothing like this. Recruiting centers are jammed, 400,000 Chicago women have applied for defense work, 100,000 have enlisted at the Red Cross.

A bomber-command pilot stirred up a national crisis in entomology by asking "How does a fly land on a ceiling? Does it loop the loop, or what?"
