...fell ill and died. In fairly rapid succession, so did his 3-year-old daughter, Ingeborg; an aunt, Suzanne Loewenstein; and the family seamstress, Anna Kittenberger. In each case Mrs. Martha Marek was in close attendance. Last week in Vienna a horrified Nazi judge put an end to Frau Marek's ghastly livelihood. For it was she who had sliced off her husband's leg, she who had killed daughter, aunt and seamstress-all to collect insurance. Excoriated as a "devil in petticoats," a "human cobra," Frau Marek was sentenced to death...
...music by Jewish composers has been rigidly enforced, racial borderline cases, Jew-"Aryan" collaborations, and other knotty problems have kept Nazi theoreticians in a perpetual dither. "Aryan" Composer Richard Strauss's operas have escaped the ban, though several of his most successful (Die Schweigsame Frau, Der Rosenkavalier, Elektra) have librettos by Jews. Also unbanned, and of Jewish authorship, are librettos of "Aryan" Composer Franz Lehar's operettas (The Merry Widow, et al.). Carmen, a perennial favorite in German opera houses, was written by French Composer Georges Bizet, who is generally credited with some Jewish blood. Kulturkammer authorities...
...Princeton's Mercer Street. He chose it for two dimensions, the height of its ceilings and the length of its flower garden in the back. He lives there with Margot, his late wife's daughter by a previous marriage, and his secretary, Fraulein Helen Dukas, who since Frau Einstein's death last year has looked after his bank account, his clothes and other things which to him are equally trivial.

...accounting of Frau Elsa Einstein's estate filed last week in Trenton revealed that she left $52,689. Since she died intestate, only one-third will go to Widower Einstein, the rest to her daughter. This means nothing to Einstein. He has enough money for living expenses and wants no more. When he first joined the Institute, its officials asked him to name the salary he expected. His figure was so low that the officials had to raise it to preserve Institute standards. But if he is indifferent about his own money, Albert Einstein has a strict moral sense...
...Herr and Frau Ribbentrop, who had been greeted everywhere they went in London with angry cries of "Release Pastor Niemöller!", "Release Thälmann!" and "Get out, Ribbentrop!", then went along from Buckingham Palace to the second most exclusive address in the British Empire, No. 10 Downing Street. There a State luncheon, with plenty of wine, was offered them by Prime Minister & Mrs. Neville Chamberlain, who had invited pro-French Mr. & Mrs. Winston Churchill, pro-German Lord & Lady Londonderry and all the Cabinet's biggest wigs & wives. The news tickers at No. 10 were chattering about...
