...Books do not make wars, nor do books win them; yet there has never been a war in history in which books figured so importantly. It was a book (Mein Kampf), written just a little more than twenty years ago, which set forth the gospel of pan-Germanism and the German faith in aggression. Books were martyred by those who thought that ideas could be destroyed by burning the paper upon which they had been set down. There were books which tried to warn us of the enemy. There were books written in hot desert sun and under naval gunfire...
...Roosevelt feigned some reluctance in saying it, but there seemed to be something a bit "foreign" creeping into the campaign this year-a "propaganda technique invented by the dictators abroad." It was, he feared, a technique out of Mein Kampf; never tell a small lie, make it a fantastic whopper and keep repeating...

Commonweal. Later he specialized in German affairs, wrote the footnotes to Reynal & Hitchcock's edition of Mein Kampf. In World War I he was a sergeant; now he serves on the State Department's Advisory Committee on Cultural Relations. Another great current interest of President Shuster is the college community center, near Hunter's superb, modernistic building on Manhattan's swank Park Avenue. It is the Sara Delano Roosevelt Memorial, the united former town houses of President Roosevelt and his mother. Attractively refurnished in what Dr. Shuster calls "B. Altman Empire" style, the center is used...
