...those who suspected he was in the Navy only for effect soon revised their opinion. He was the ideal naval administrator-big, neat, quiet, orderly and a bear for work. Halsey made him his flag secretary-chief administrative officer of headquarters ashore, and an assistant chief of staff at sea-and began calling him Harold...

Britain's request to discuss certain aspects of the recent loan, the admitted inability of the Security Council to resolve the Balkan squabbles, the Russian penchant for hiding behind her veto--all are ideal ammunition for those who desire to belittle the benefits of international cooperation.

Early in the morning of April 30, Hitler married Eva Braun. (She supplied, says the author, "that ideal of restfulness . . . for which his bourgeois soul so hankered.") That day in the Chancellery canteen, where the soldiers and orderlies took their meals, there was a dance. Word went up from the Führerbunker to make less noise. At 3:30 p.m., Hitler and Eva Braun committed suicide...
