...might be the smart thing to make some sort of deal with Hitler. Finally in January 1933, at the home of Cologne Banker Franz von Schroeder, von Ribbentrop engineered the first meeting of Political Upstart Adolf Hitler and weak, perpetually scheming Lieut.-Colonel Franz von Papen, who had the ear of Hindenburg. Through the chink thus opened Herr Hitler eventually forced his way to power as Chancellor, finally succeeding Hindenburg - and remaining to this day grateful to von Ribbentrop who presently became a General. Last week the two men were closeted in the Realmleader's mountain snuggery amid...
...sweaters, rejected knickers as undignified. Having specialized in sociology, he hopes to make his people yearn for knowledge. Now the Kikuyu's prime ambition-which he achieves only by years of prying and pulling with coils of wire, disks of wood, cane pegs, gourds-is to make his ear lobes touch his shoulders...

Having thus fundamentally classified his patient, the diagnostician can then proceed to string symptoms...
When a Sicilian wants to duel, he neither presents his card nor flips his glove in his enemy's face. Instead, he bites his opponent's ear. Enacting the role of Turiddu in Cavalleria Rusticana at Manhattan's Hippodrome last week, Tenor Sidney Raynor's bite went wild. He missed Baritone Rocco Pandiscio's ear, took a painful nip out of the Pandiscio cheek. Peace was made over the bandaging backstage. Later in the evening Baritone Pandiscio went onstage with his round jowl swathed. He played his next role heartily, the doleful clown in Pagliacci...
