...Europe was good, and the Nazis meant every word of their boast that Germany would eat if all Europe had to starve. The German bread ration was recently increased. Yet the black market continues to flourish. One of Germany's sorest shortages is in housing. Nazi figures admit that 6,953,000 people (about 9% of the prewar population) have been bombed out or evacuated. Labor Chief Robert Ley said last week that bombs had destroyed 2,000,000 rooms in homes. The solutions so far found have been dismally inadequate. Resettled bomb victims, crowded into strangers' homes...
...came, and with it the intoxication of initial victory. But soon the hangover followed. Last week, in the Diet, Nakano heard the Emperor's message: The situation is "truly grave." Later, he heard Premier Hideki Tojo admit that the U.S., defeated at the beginning, was now "overcoming many difficulties and dangers, and the war is growing in intensity."

Both have infinite faith in their players. Both recognize that baseball and football are only games-something few coaches admit-and refuse to flail their breasts or their players when they hit a losing streak...
...people's document." The privilege of the "writ of habeas corpus," which guarantees individuals and groups against arbitrary imprisonment, covered everybody, not merely the "rich, wellborn and able." At one point in the symposium on "A More Perfect Union and Justice," Dr. Smyth tries to get Beard to admit that Hamilton believed in "Federalist party justice." But the indefatigable Uncle Charles again routs Dr. Smyth since Hamilton vigorous ly attacked the Federalist-inspired Sedition Act of 1798. "Let us not establish a tyranny," said Hamilton. "Energy is a very different thing from violence." All of this...
