...Lawyer. The shy overseer of all this success came to the A.C.L.U. from Hitler's Germany. Born in Berlin in 1937, Aryeh (Hebrew for lion and pronounced Ar-eeay) Neier (rhymes with higher) was taken to London at the age of two to escape the Nazis; after the war, he moved with his family to New York City. Young Aryeh went through the city's public school system and on to Cornell, where he organized a speakers' group that made a show of inviting a Daily Worker editor to lecture when the City College of New York...
...rather than the lives of our young men for humanitarian purposes and the freedom of others whenever and wherever we can. To acquiesce in the Soviets' position that this is unjustified as an unwarranted interference in their domestic affairs would be like justifying the continuance of business with Hitler while being aware of his murder camps for fear of being criticized for interfering with Germany's domestic affairs. This is plain baloney...
...immediacy of its A Cartoon History of United States Foreign Policy Since World War I. In an introduction, Political Analyst Richard H. Rovere acknowledges the ability of certain cartoons to provide "flashes of extraordinary insight and political prescience." In this category he places a David Low cartoon of 1939.

...surpassed the best of his American colleagues. A Cartoon History offers compelling work of artists representing the whole ideological spectrum. On the political left are some superlative efforts from the World War II years: William Cropper's fascists, consuming the globe for dinner, and Saul Steinberg's Hitler, portrayed as a constipated hen. The progressives are matched in temper and tone by conservatives of the '50s: Joseph Parrish's conception of the U.N. as a Trojan horse, brimming with "alien spies"; Reg Manning's portrayal of General MacArthur's hat hemmed in by toppers...
...most important atomic spy during World War II. Working for OSS in Switzerland and behind enemy lines, Berg gathered information that determined Germany's progress toward building a nuclear bomb. He was also able to learn the whereabouts of labs and reactors and the identities of Hitler's leading atomic scientists. The authors raise the possibility that Berg may even have assassinated a few, and that he had orders to kill Werner Heisenberg during a lecture visit to Switzerland if the great German physicist was discovered to be participating in Hitler's A-bomb race...
