...that a fascist war criminal was being jailed by the U.S. "I am the kind of man," explained Berman, "who believes everything that comes from abroad." The suave Kio stood ready to show how unwise that was. Several workmen rolled a big cage into the ring. Inside was Adolf Hitler. Mumbling his magic formula, Kio lowered what he explained was "not an iron, but a silken curtain." When the curtain rose once more, the workers had been moved inside the cage, and outside, mocking them, stood Hitler. On hand to congratulate the Führer on his escape were...
Loudly and vehemently Dennis disclaimed Browderism, of which he had been one of the loudest mouthpieces when Browderism was the party line.

"At 1,000 marks a head," he says, "I can scarcely make both ends meet." Hard-pressed, Gustav decided that what he needed was a sideline to supplement his income. He apparently found one. Last week, obligingly wearing his formal professional attire for the benefit of photographers (see cut) Gustav appeared...
...both Churchill and his new friend, Franklin Roosevelt, the issue was the same -to destroy Hitler. Churchill's task, beyond preparing to meet the onslaught of the Germans, was not, as he tells it, to win Roosevelt over, but to help and hurry him in winning the U.S. public over to their common view...
