...receive from Mussolini a magnificent illustrated album on the accomplishments of Fascism, reputed to cost $100 a copy. To acquaint the world with the strong joys of Nazi Germany, German propagandists get out an elegant monthly review published in six languages.

Poliakoff is equally proud of his weekly piece for the provinces, his occasional cabled stories to the New York Times. Somewhere he finds time to write books...
