...first and second generation Japanese in California did not come from the masses of the people. Even when Californians were still stunned by the sudden attack on Pearl Harbor, there was great sympathy for the Isei and Nisei [alien and citizen Japs] placed in this tragic position through no fault of their own. Most Californians were content to let the FBI weed out the undesirables...
...Vichy news agency, just a week before had claimed that France had only 3,160 tanks to meet 7,000 to 8,000 German tanks. Daladier scoffed at this statement. France had 3,600 tanks and the Germans only 2,000. France's fault lay not in how few tanks she had, but in the way they had been used...
...records, everyone can find fault with the selections, according to his taste. I found little reason for the authors to include so many obscure records of the vintage of 1925 which only a few collectors probably own. Most commendable is the wide scope of the book, although many of the examples are certainly not the best of a particular band or player's work.

...addition to his financial services to Nazidom, Bormann has made ideological contributions in the field of religion. Recently he told Party leaders: "Trying to produce order at the Vatican is a fault into which we Germans have unfortunately often fallen. . . .

The people must be wrested from the churches and their priests. Their influence must be permanently broken in the same way as the harmful influences...
...retailers knew it too. They remember all too clearly the whooping price increases of the last war and the punishing 1920 inventory loss (estimated at $11,000,000,000) they had to take as a result. That was partly their own fault, because of the pyramiding effect of their "replacement-cost" pricing policy. This time they have done their best to keep the retail lid on. Their concerted policy of averaging costs has thus far kept retail prices to around 20% above their pre-war level v. an overall wholesale-price increase...
