...ring did not turn out to be larger-they had expected a bulging Gargantua in corsets, but Göring has really trained down, and Germany is training down, hard. Herr Göring gave a good account of himself at Rome in a fencing bout with Signor Mussolini, expert duelist. Commented a professional fencing master who witnessed the 20-minute bout: "Mussolini was faster and more agile. He showed his years of constant training. Göring was the stronger. He showed surprising speed for a man of his size and revealed himself to be an accomplished swordsman...

A match between two expert tennists is always...

He admits he has not yet become an expert in the spiritual life, but he left India so full of grateful respect that his view of her future is very different from most of his compatriots': "India can manage her own affairs, given the right men in the right place...
