Wings of the Storm. Tomorrow was bound to be stormier. The platform still had to be voted on. The party's worried leaders had done their best to produce something which, if it failed to please everyone, at least would not rile anyone very much. They had kept in touch with Harry Truman, whose cautious advice had been to keep the specific points of his so-called "civil rights" program out of the platform...
Jerry Gorman, 220 and hundred yard man for one meet against Brown before his departure for the stormier waters of Great Lakes, is one outstanding returnee from last year on whom Ulen leans heavily. Forbes Norris looms as the leading contender for the distance pulls, with National competition in the 1500 meter event under his belt. Paired with Gorman, and keeping him company all the way, Ulen hopes, will probably be John Watkins, an ex-trooper of the 82nd Airborne. Bob Snow, who took over Gorman's chores last year, will probably supply depth...

When the Nina sailed into Santander the people, waiting on their launches to see the end of the race, mistook her for the larger* Atlantic which arrived an hour later.

S.; two days before the hurricane reached Porto Rico, he reported that he had encountered ari 80-mile gale, the worst in his experience. His radio message was brief...
...there are certain clouds on the business horizon which later on may or may not blow up into stormier weather. The chief of these is the tendency of individual and institutional investors alike to place funds in fixed rather than liquid assets. This tendency accounts for much stock market activity, and for the even wider and greater speculation in land and improved real estate. So far has activity in both these fields gone, that the wiser heads in Wall Street and the more hard-bitten realtors of Miami are now wondering where the limit is. It is not yet clearly...
