With this aim in mind, Putzi excitedly told Adolf about the hypnotic effect of college cheering sections at U.S. football games and, at the piano, demonstrated the "buoyant beat" of U.S. brass bands. Recalls Putzi: "I had Hitler fairly shouting with enthusiasm. 'That's it, Hanfstaengl, that is what we need for the movement, marvelous,' and he pranced up and down the room like a drum majorette." The "Rah, rah, rah!" refrain of Harvardmen, by Putzi's account, became the thunderous "Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!" of the Brownshirt demonstrations. Storm Trooper bands blared their goose-step...
Syria. Dulles put the current diplomatic point and counterpoint about Syria into proper perspective by recalling Russia's failures in persistent attempts to dominate the strategic, oil-rich Middle East and eastern Mediterranean. In 1940 the Communists went after a spheres-of-influence deal with Ally Adolf Hitler that would give them control "in the general direction of the Persian Gulf"; in 1945-46 the Communists prolonged their wartime occupation of Azerbaijan in northern Iran, were forced out by U.N. pressure; between 1946 and 1949 the Communists sparked the Greek civil war, saw it fizzle out; in 1955 they...

Author Berle is most provocative when he looks at the mid-century world as a stage and finds it peopled with ghosts...
...story was old as Grimm and as new as television. It all began when 22-year-old Princess Margaretha, granddaughter of Sweden's King Gustaf VI Adolf, went to London last fall to brush up her English. The princess did not stay with her distant relatives at Buckingham Palace, but boarded at $14 a week with the family of an old friend in Hampstead. She took an unpaid training job as a therapist in a London hospital, traveled to and from work on the underground. Mayfair, which had seen its share of foreign princesses, liked but was not dazzled...
