Sometimes crawling at a walking pace along the narrow, level path past the cots, sometimes swooping at 30 m. p. h. around the steep sides of the great bowl built of spruce boards in Madison Square Garden, bicycle riders raced in the 40th International Six-Day Race. Old Reggie MacNamara, a champion twelve years ago and still strong though no longer fast, was entered; so was big, blond, popular Charles Winter; Gaetano Belloni's wild mane of crinkly hair pushed out above his handlebars. The crowds, always emphatically Italian in Manhattan, cheered Linari & Binda, billed as an imported road...
...York Times. Hugging the coast of Nova Scotia so as not to lose sight of land, they flew beneath lowhanging rain clouds: ". . . We flew on, skirting a precipice.

Non-sectarian services will...

Flanked by Secretaries George Akerson and Walter Newton, the President marched up the steep outside steps of the State, War & Navy building, climbed the sharply curving inside stairway to the third floor, entered the ornate office of General John Joseph Pershing, Chairman of the American Battle Monuments Commission. There he was officially greeted by his Secretaries of State and of War who work in the same building. Clerks peeped in at him, buzzed with excitement at having "the Chief" under their roof...
