...their dispatches, which of course were not sent without scrutiny by German censors, the neutral correspondents also gave the impression that "this is a strange war." They heard little firing, saw few effects of it. They saw only one airplane encounter. They visited evacuated Saarbrücken, reported freight trains still hauling away coal, steel and manufacturing equipment (to the Ruhr) in full view of the French.

She found the movies illuminating...

Last week, in an all-Sibelius concert by the NBC Orchestra in Manhattan's Carnegie Hall, Conductor Schneevoigt gave U. S. listeners their first chance to hear the Tuonelese swan's long-lost cronies. While Manhattan's Sibelians clapped their hands with joy, soberer critics decided that the missing pieces merely filled out the puzzle...
