...Hitler Germany, when the House of Ullstein was the largest publisher on the continent, BZ was confiscated by Hitler, along with the Ullsteins' four other dailies, five weeklies and six magazines. Last year they got some of their property back (TIME, Feb. 4, 1952), and under Karl H. Ullstein, 61, grandson of the founder, started up the Berliner Morgenpost again.

Young Charles Dickens came to study, Darwin to solidify his ideas for On the Origin of Species. Karl Marx gathered the wool which went into Das Kapital, most of which he wrote in the great, quiet, dome-capped Reading Room...
