...rest of the world--for this affair is inherently international--it is obvious that no embassy attache's life is worth the staggering sum demanded. It is equally indisputable that the Jewish Germans, already bled by the Hitler regime, are in no position to pay the forfeit required, Thus, a world whose patience Hitler has frayed twice in the past year should express in terms as strong as those used in the Austrian and Czech crises its disapproval of such barbarianism. To the pleas of France and England, Hitler has already shown himself impervious. But a scowling rebuke from...
Only recently the Count of Covadonga, former heir apparent to the Spanish throne and a renowned hemophilic, bled to death after an automobile accident. It is entirely probable that the new powder would have helped to stop this bleeding and thus possibly saved his life...

Not one rial of foreign money went into its construction. Skipping most of Iran's largest centres, crossing mountain ranges, connecting with no foreign railways, the line is patently uneconomic.
