...then Mondrian's presence was a talisman to the small New York avant-garde. It was the gift of Hitler. Like many of the Surrealists--whose work he cordially detested--Mondrian had fled to refuge in New York in 1940 as the Nazi threat to "degenerate artists" such as himself became inescapably plain. The mere arrival of this diffident and somewhat reclusive man symbolized the passing of modernist leadership from Paris to Manhattan. Yet unlike the Surrealists, he had few American followers, and none who became painters of the first rank. Part of the paradox of Mondrian was that although...
...Dutch should know by now that we cannot pull our finger out of the fragile dike holding back the floods of fascism. They were neutral toward Hitler in the 1930s and said World War II wasn't their war either. That is, until they were overrun by the blitzkrieg and had to be saved by American and British forces. We must never forget...
...taped monologues he made for a would-be screenwriter, is a storm of racial fury. But Cochran set off his own kind of racial tempest when he used his closing arguments to call Fuhrman and another Los Angeles officer, Philip Vannatter, "twin devils" and to compare Fuhrman to Adolf Hitler.

...them in the back again. It will come as no surprise to them. Throughout the years, the U.S. government has broken promises and reneged on one treaty after another. Senator Gorton's assertion that as budget cuts take place, Native Americans must sacrifice like other Americans is akin to Hitler's telling the Jews in Auschwitz that although conditions there were bad, things in Berlin were not so good either. The American Indians in our country need to rise up to oppose this betrayal. Shame on Senator Gorton, and shame on the U.S. government. JAMES MILLS Hanover, New Hampshire...
...informal and unofficial, he came to photography at the very moment handheld cameras were at last making it possible to take pictures in the same unbuckled mood. Seen through Eisenstaedt's Leica, public events became less ceremonious, while ordinary people took on scale and emotional weight. After he fled Hitler, those were the qualities that recommended him to the editors of LIFE, where in 1936 he became one of its four original photographers. It was part of his gift to recognize that history could be made in the placid American suburbs just as surely as it was made in Berlin...
