Everybody's Friend. The Admiral has constantly and glibly shifted his politics to suit his career, always obliging the man in charge-whether Blum or Chautemps or Daladier-just as today he obliges Adolf Hitler. Whenever Governments changed, Darlan usually called in the newspapermen and asked them to forecast him as the next Minister of Marine. He is a great eater and drinker, and on the night France collapsed he luxuriated so heartily and publicly at Bordeaux's Chapon Fin that the next day a number of his brother officers, with an ethical fastidiousness almost Japanese, resigned their...
...investment trust with $180,000,000 cash to play bank with was forecast last week when Harrison Williams' North American Co. bowed to the Holding Company Act death sentence, announced plans to sell out all its utility holdings and use the proceeds to go into the investment business. This will make far & away the largest pot of capital in the U.S. unregulated by anything except SEC's truth-insecurities and anti-manipulation acts.

...shipping, having committed itself a step further in the Battle of the Atlantic by turning over ten anti-rumrunning cutters, having attached Greenland to its sphere of defense (see p. 23), might digest well: "It is," said the Prime Minister, "of course very hazardous to try to forecast in what direction or directions Hitler will employ his military machine in the present year. ..." Winston Churchill paused. He was pale and tired-looking, and his delivery this day was strangely halting; but his words were measured as he held his head up and said to his British colleagues...
When The Revolt of the Masses (1932) became an international bestseller, nobody was more surprised than its author, Jose Ortega y Gasset, a quiet professor of metaphysics at Madrid University. But this forecast, actually written three years before Hitler came to power, soon had the ring of prophecy: "Before long there will be heard throughout the planet a formidable cry, rising like the howling of innumerable dogs to the stars, asking for someone or something to take command, to impose an occupation, a duty...
