...type who ordinarily do not get on with bemonocled German bourgeoisie and intimate are von Ribbentrop and Hitler. Last August, when von Ribbentrop's appointment as Ambassador was announced, he had been running for two years in Berlin an amazing personal suite of offices which was known as Das Büo Ribbentrop. He then reputedly gave orders to Foreign Minister Baron Constantin von Neurath. It was said that von Ribbentrop in London would at last have to begin taking the Berlin orders of von Neurath...

For example Newton's "Principia" and Marx's "Das Kapital" are excessively difficult to understand and they are crammed with irrelevancies and theories now known to be wrong. It is as waste of time and effort to plunge through such morasses unaided. Commentaries and lectures which show the relation between events and the growth of doctrines double the value...
