...into U. S. parlors bashed brains, hacked-off hands, slaughtered children. Commentators, necessarily, were far from neutral. The European news reports broadcast were censored at the source, and amounted to little more than propaganda (even though the press printed no less censored news). In addition to all this, the cost had been terrific-as much as $18 a minute for transatlantic connections, countless refunds to advertisers whose programs had been interrupted...
First effect of this uncertainty on Hollywood, which has already written off the German and Italian box offices, once 10% of its foreign gross, was a scaling down of costs on current productions. Director Wesley Ruggles, rather than shave his $2,000,000 budget for Arizona, shelved the picture. Other producers planned to whittle future budgets over $600,000 down to fit domestic box-office expectations. Since the greater part of production cost is in salaries and overhead, decreased budgets in the long run would inevitably mean tightening the belt in Hollywood's corporate scale of living...
Last year Irving Air Chute had net sales of $1,928,400 (retail cost of parachutes: $180 to $300) and netted $398,321.

...says Souvarine, for the wise reconstruction and administration of Russia they were pitiful in face of the task with which Lenin himself could scarcely cope. The implacability of a good bomb thrower (TIME, Sept. 4) showed itself inappropriate, to say the least, when Stalin collectivized agriculture at the attested cost of 5,000,000 peasant lives. Lenin continually and publicly admitted his mistakes; Stalin gradually would tolerate nothing but adulation. And behind the façade of the U. S. S. R., the great Socialist world power, a late Roman corruption grew fantastically until to the west...
