There is no greatest in sports says 1946 essay
A writer concludes there is no single greatest athlete or team across football baseball boxing golf or horse racing. He cites many legends and moderns alike, argues context and era shape greatness, and asserts no man or team can be deemed the greatest in any sport. The piece encourages striving to be good rather than chasing a universal pinnacle.

Americans Heaviest Investors in Insurance
Claris Adams, president of the American Life convention, states that about two thirds of world life insurance is held by United States citizens. He notes that by end of 1945 seventy one million Americans owned life insurance, over half the population, including men women and children. War years raised life insurance in force by four hundred billion dollars, averaging one thousand dollars per family and lifting the family budget to about four thousand five hundred dollars. Life insurance savings rank among the top items in family budgets.
