...today looms Adolf Hitler in the minds of Europe's statesmen that Der Führer's habit of always picking Saturday as the time suddenly to throw his weight about has caused the Continent's major stock exchanges to remain closed every Saturday-just in case the No.1 Nazi should upset prices...
...great dogs accompanied Comrade Navachine whenever he stirred abroad, and being a courageous man the Soviet economist persisted that morning in his habit of taking a brisk constitutional in the Bois de Boulogne. Several witnesses last week heard and saw what happened. A man with a pistol coolly fired three shots at close range, next grappled Dmitri Navachine, drove home four blows with a long thin knife, and nimbly escaped as Paris passers-by rushed to help the stricken man but only drew to themselves the snarling attentions of his two big dogs. These faithful beasts stood guard over their...

Thus, 1) an incision may bleed dangerously, or 2) the drug quickly diffuses into the blood stream and loses its local anesthetic...
...uniformly good. As the Emperor Franz-Joseph, Dudley Diggs is superb and quite overshadow Henry Hull, who does his best to give life to the part of Rudolph. Miss Frederick has little to do but does it well Margo is as beautiful as ever--and still has the irritating habit of delivering all her lines in one sobbingly petulent tone of voice. But all in all, it is a distinguished cast, and it really deserves something better from Mr. Anderson in the way of a play...
