Fittingly enough, the strategy of unity was first proposed by the first victim of Axis aggression, China. In Chungking Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek last week suggested the immediate formation of an Allied High Command.

Last week Hungarian Newshawk Tibor Koeves brought these glimpses together to produce the first full-length biography of Papen in English. His book helped explain the connection between the shadowy circles in which Papen moves and the shadowy circles under his eyes. It also explained in part the chemistry of that strange political amalgam: Junker aristocrats with Nazi riffraff...
