...tons, the largest ever to nose through Norwegian fjords and visit the northmost Norwegian isle of Spitsbergen, returned last week to Manhattan, bearing some hundreds of tourists all able to boast that they had read newspapers at midnight by the light of what Norwegians call the Midnat Sol.

Chunky Representative Sol Bloom of New York politely insinuated that square-jawed Representative Thomas L. Blanton of Texas was a liar.
