...with Harold Nicolson, M.P. (author of Portrait of a Diplomatist, Peacemaking, Dwight Morrow, Small Talk, Curzon: The Last Phase), and then hurried to his country home "Chartwell" in Kent to run his six secretaries ragged and hang on the telephone putting in calls all over Europe. "Now," said he, "Hitler...
...give it. There he sits, torn by passion and foreboding, by appetites and fears, with his finger moving toward a button which-if he presses it-will explode what is left of civilization. . . .

S. cabled an exclusive on Hitler's statement that he would rather fight now than later. Headlines were big and bold, but not as big and bold as they could be. The Times used a 36-point, eight-column spread three times during the week, saved its 60-point for worse news. Outside of New York few papers increased the size of their headlines. Headline-of-the-week was the Daily News...
