...German envoy, Achenbach, speaks blandly of relations with French officials, concerned, even now, with bureaucracy and results rather than responsibility. A collaborator, Combelle, recalls without guilt his admiration for German fascism-"I did not believe in natural equality, but that the best should win...What did the Germans mean to a man like me? I won't make myself ridiculous by telling you that the army was correct...
...seventh win of the season, but instead ended up dropping his third decision. His wildness started to flare up in the fourth, when, with one out, he walked Dartmouth's Bruce Smith and Paul Minkus. Smith was erased on a fielder's choice but pinch-hitter Dale Achenbach drilled a single to left field driving in Mikus. Indian pitcher Jim Shaw, who went all the way to win his fifth game of the year, helped his own cause with an opposite-field single past Crimson second baseman Dick Manchester's outstretched glove, sending two more tallies across the plate...
...Hardtner, just across the Kansas line, lived two farmers, Jacob Achenbach and Ira B. Blackstock. When Hardtner had been left railroadless by the Missouri Pacific these two men had built a railroad to Kiowa. ten miles away. Their fame as railroad builders had spread.

This, estimated 83-year-old President Achenbach, compares to a cost of $2,100,000, a profit of about $2,000 a mile...
There are two periods in man's life, or at least in an artist's life, Thomas Mann claims, the productive, active period, and the didactic, reflective period. One does not pass from one to the other without mental pain. That is the problem of Gustav Achenbach who dies a rather ignominious death in Venice. This work, though morbid and bitter in tendency, shows Thomas Mann at the height of this career in handling words, in mastering the language. There are few pages in German literature comparable with some in "Death in Venice", particularly those which are transcribed from Plato...
