...wanderers: men in sports clothes who had paid as much as $480 for their passage; distraught women; doctors and lawyers who had lost their practices; men who had been in concentration camps. There were 500 women on board. There was Max Loewe, a lawyer, with his wife and two children. There were 150 other children, 106 of them under ten. In the strange, fear-ridden, hope-ridden atmosphere of refugee ships, compounded of anxiety, relief, tension, they waited, living until their voyage's end under the terrible shadow of the red & black swastika ensign that flew from the stern...
...counting up the strength of sides, military men talk about divisions, the basic, more or less self-contained units which generals add or subtract from armies. In fact divisions figure in their calculations as building blocks figure in the architectural dreams of children. Divisions are only roughly equal in size and strength-in France and Russia there are 18,000 men to a division, in Germany, 15,200; in Poland and England, 12,000. Mechanized divisions are even smaller, but their strength is computed in terms of tanks, armored cars, machine-guns...

Parents who try to break nursing babies of the habit only get them riled, which may have serious psychological effects. Thumb-sucking in school children is a different matter, said Dr. Langford, and is usually a danger sign: fatigue, illness or frustration...
...pursuing his and Hollywood's newfound enthusiasm for history, bouncing little Producer Darryl Zanuck of Twentieth Century-Fox has landed on some sensitive toes: descendants of Canal Builder Ferdinand de Lesseps (whose wives and children were not accounted for in Suez), Jesse James, admirers of Alexander Graham Bell. Last month cinemaddicts who saw Producer Zanuck's Rose of Washington Square, in which Alice Faye redeems her swindler husband, Tyrone Power, by singing My Man from a Ziegfeld stage, wondered whether his foot had not slipped again (TIME, May 15). For My Man was introduced in 1920 by Ziegfeld...
