Tower of Pisa Continues Its Famous Tilt
The Leaning Tower of Pisa began in 1174 under Bonanno Pisano and later gained three more storeys. Groundwater and soil caused a gradual tilt, with cement injections in 1934 to stabilize it. Three bombs in World War II slowed progress, and experts predict a potential collapse in two to three centuries as around 60,000 tourists visit yearly.

Frank Kubala, a 29 year old Czech refugee, sailed 2000 miles down Australia's east coast on a log to prove white men could match Aboriginal feats. He lived native style, fending for himself on wild game, oysters, fish, and water, enduring two shipwrecks and several gales. His voyage lasted two years with most time ashore repairing the craft, aided only by a tomcat for company.
