...Athenia case is now the Churchill case and the Churchill case has developed into the British case. It is now a question of whether proven criminals are to continue to be tolerated in such a high official position or whether the indignation of the world is stronger than the unscrupulousness of a notorious British liar. There is no doubt, Mr. Churchill, that you will be found guilty by any court of justice-now you are standing before the judgment chair of a world tribunal. The accused, Winston Churchill, now has the floor. . . . Stand, rascal, and answer...

People v. Politics. The Swedish people, as understanding Gustaf V likes to emphasize, have a national talent for what has been called "mass individualism."

Last week General Sosnokowski arrived safely in Paris, and his aide, a Colonel Dehnel, told newsmen the story of the General...
When they are not giving concerts, Chicago's Manuel & Williamson tinkle their harpsichords in privacy in a handsome old greystone house on the South Side. Its 14 large, high-ceilinged rooms are filled with obsolete instruments, antique pictures, books about music of the long ago. Inseparable bachelors, they act, talk, think alike, have identical handwriting, birthdays within 24 hours of each other (June 29 and 30). Though they have toured the whole U. S., they have never appeared in Manhattan because Manhattan concert managers insist that they hire their own hall...
