...Power (Sun. 6:30 p.m., CBS). The 1930s, narrated by Walter Cronkite, Jimmy Doolittle...
Stripped almost clean, the Röchlings were still idolized by the Saarlanders, who remembered the family's benevolent approach to labor, their record for holding employment steady. In the 1930s, when German and French steel plants were laying off workers, Röchling held its full labor force by falling back on reserves, developing new, cost-cutting production techniques. Playing on popular sympathy to achieve political leadership, Hermann Röchling cried for Anschluss with the German Fatherland. In 1935 the Saarlanders voted overwhelmingly to join Germany...
During the 1930s, most of the long-eared musical world was playing a waiting game. Famed Austrian Pianist Artur Schnabel was slowly recording his way through the Beethoven sonatas-Schnabel would no more hurry a recording session than he would a Beethoven tempo-and each new disk was an event.

...loudspeakers of Egypt shrilled a voice, urgent, strident, and sharply reminiscent of the days in the early 1930s when another mustached zealot ranted and raved his way across the world stage. The decision of Egypt's 38-year-old President Nasser to seize the Suez Canal, his dire prophecy of an Arab empire stretching from the Persian Gulf to the Atlantic, his incitement to Algerians to rise up against the French-all these were summonses to the diplomats of Foggy Bottom and their opposite numbers in Whitehall and the Quai d'Orsay to consider, consult...
