When a cinema short on Curley was released, during a time of blizzards and rainstorms, Variety headlined: BLIZ AND DRIZ FAIL TO FIZZLE BIZ AS BUG WOWS B.
Chicago was basically closed for business on Nov. 4, as an estimated 5 million people took to the streets for a parade from Wrigley Field to Grant Park to celebrate the Chicago Cubs and their exhilarating, comeback victory in the World Series, securing the Cubs first title in 108 years.
According to anecdotal reports, there was also heavy traffic in area cemeteries the following weekend. Many wanted to pay respects to the Cubs fans who for more than a century handed us the ball, so to speak, at the end of their lives and asked us to adhere to their hard-bitten faith in our often pathetic boys in blue.
(See front cover) Contrary to popular impression, the Kentucky Derby, in which a score of able U. S. three-year-old horses will this week race1¼ miles at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., is not the oldest, the richest or the best U. S. horse race. It is the most famed U. S. horse race and indubitably— in crowds, excitement, importance to the U. S. scene—the biggest. Last week the amiable, horsey city of Louisville was busy removing traces of the $52,000,000 damage left by last winter’s flood in preparation for the one day in the year when it is the sporting capital of the U.

They went only a little distance from their own land, but they crossed a fence to get to a lagoon on the great King Ranch. They should not have done that. The King Ranch comprises 1,250,000 acres, four-fifths the size of Delaware, and belongs to the Klebergs who inherited it from their Grandfather Richard King, who founded it before the Civil War.

14. 4. 2020 | News Laboratories of the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague were transformed into a scientific manufactory in March. Due to the general lack of disinfectants on the market, the Department of Nuclear Chemistry began producing its own disinfectants for the needs of the university and other institutions.

I’m flying across the international date line, but I’ve lost track somewhere along the line of whether I’m heading east or west. My stomach tells me that it’s 3 a.m., but the watch that I’m just turning backward says it’s really 6 p.m. Drew Barrymore seemed to have accompanied this same piece of chicken some days ago, and the people in the next row might be Asian-Americans or just Americanized Asians.
It has been a phenomenal 2024 Olympics so far for women in sport. Simone Biles became the most decorated American Olympic gymnast while Katie Ledecky became the most decorated female swimmer in Olympic history. The U.S. women’s rugby team won an improbable bronze medal with a miracle play in the last seconds of the game. We’ve seen a 58-year-old woman, Chile’s Zeng Zhiying, compete in table tennis and Egypt’s Nada Hafez compete while seven months pregnant in fencing.
