I'm looking for a couple short stories, I believe from the same Science fiction Anthology, but I can't remember either story or anthology name. I read the book in high school from the library, and I believe it was from or just shortly after the golden age of sci-fi - at least the stories were.

First story was about a man who found out how to manipulate gravity or mass. I particularly remember him making a delivery and removing all the gravity or mass from the truck he was delivering and placing it into a bridge, and I believe the bridge collapsed from the extra weight.

The second story was about a person who found a route to his destination that was faster than a crow could fly. There was no physical way for him to be able to travel so fast, but he kept being able to get to his destination faster and faster.
