Tharpe continued recording during World War II, one of only two gospel artists able to record V-discs for troops overseas.

Non-participation in public affairs was a serious matter, and was considered by "suspicious emperors as evidence of treason."Jones, Domitian, pp. 183f While we know nothing about his wife, Orfitus did have a son, who shared the same name, Servius Cornelius Scipio Salvidienus Orfitus consul in 110.

Enter Laughing opened March 13, 1963 at Henry Miller's Theatre and ran through March 14, 1964, for 419 performances. It was well received by critics and audiences. Howard Taubman wrote in the New York Times review that "the major complaint ... is that it doesn't provide enough rest periods between side-splitting laughs" and called Arkin's performance "a choice specimen of a shrewd actor ribbing his profession". In The Nation, Harold Clurman paid it the back-handed compliment of calling it an example of how the "deterioration of the Broadway theatre may be discerned in the fact that inconsequential scripts are frequently done more competently than serious ones"; Clurman, too, singled out Arkin for praise.

He moved to Hamburg in January 1952 when he began working for the Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk (NWDR) broadcasting organisation, initially working in radio as head of the domestic policy department, and then as deputy head of political section and head of the features department. During this period there were some spectacular productions, such as Erich Kuby's "Nur noch rauchende Trümmer – das Ende der Festung Brest" ("Only smoking debris left – the end of Fortress Brest"), first transmitted by NWDR on 19 October 1954: the broadcast earned a forceful back- handed compliment in the form of a legal challenge from General Hermann- Bernhard Ramcke, the military commander in command of the German forces during the fighting. The trial ended in 1959 with an acquittal for the programme author and editor.

The Embraer 190 A 737-700 of United Airlines On 27 April 2017, Boeing filed a petition charging Bombardier with dumping for selling 75+50 CS100s to Delta Air Lines for $19.6m each, below their $33.2m production cost. Aviation Week noted "The reaction to Boeing's petition against Bombardier across much of the aerospace industry has been sharply negative". Flight Global qualified the move as "perhaps the most back-handed compliment one manufacturer can pay another". Delta Air Lines dismissed Boeing's allegations, claiming Boeing only offered a combination of used Embraer E-190 and Boeing 717s which were unavailable for the Delta timeline as Boeing does not currently produce a model in the 100-125 seat range, not the Boeing 737-700 or 737 MAX 7.
