...idiotic paternal approach which sometimes characterizes American government and diplomacy has once again been utilized by General Eisenhower. Since the Russians have begun to play rough in Hungary, he has virtuously decided that America can no longer afford to retain cultural contacts with them.

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...
