...their country had been meshed with the Göring Four-Year Plan (TIME, Nov. 2, 1936); and April 10 was set as the date on which "the German men and women of Austria" will vote in a "free and secret plebiscite" whether they approve what Adolf Hitler has done by then...
...chagrin felt at this by middle-class Frenchmen was in contrast to their optimism a few hours before, ably mirrored by New York Timesman P. J. Philip in a cable anticipating formation of a National Government: "If it can be done, it is not unlikely that France will see a quick return to prosperity which will, as in 1926, prove surprising to those who, reading events superficially, are inclined to underestimate this country. For despite these prophets of evil the French situation-so far as internal matters are concerned-is not so desperate as many would like to think. France...
...Heir of Lenin," Nikolai Bukharin, onetime editor of official Izvestia, stared dry-eyed at the floor. The, 21 did not know that, so far as could be ascertained last week, the only daily or weekly papers in the world whose editors expressed the opinion that justice was being done in Moscow were exclusively Communist papers of the Stalin faction.

The Welshman landed oftener-and occasionally with a right that really bothered Baer-but when the former champion let loose, he came very near to ruining Farr. No one disputed Baer...
...Frenchman had written The Forsyte Saga, that protracted story of family life might have been no shorter, but it is a safe bet that readers would have been well informed about the Forsytes' sexual life. In The Pasquier Chronicles Georges Duhamel has done for his temperamental, crockery-smashing Pasquiers what Galsworthy did for his stiff-lipped Forsytes- told their tedious story with too many words-but he has enlivened it with Gallic interludes of scandals, passions and continental amours, any one of which would have been a major blot on the Forsyte escutcheon. Otherwise a puffy, ill-proportioned novel...
