With this concept of rule the philosophy of Nazi Germany was despicable to him: "Germany," he said, "is a place where a small band of ferocious men rose from the depths to dictatorship, there to take away the guarantee of life, law and liberty." To associate British democracy with Nazi methods meant the destruction of all that the Empire ever meant: "That power which burns Christian ethics, which cheers its onward progress with barbarous paganism, which vaunts the spirit of aggression and conquest, which derives strength and pleasure from perverted persecution and uses the threat of murderous force-that power...
...insignificant but institutionally of as great importance to Italians as George VI is to Britons, King Vittorio Emmanuele thanked Mr. Roosevelt for his idea, promised to convey it to his Government. He had not far to go. Northward on the same train with Mr. Phillips had traveled Son-in-Law Ciano, ostensibly just to get a Collar of the Annunciata from His Majesty for his "brilliant" work as Foreign Minister. The Count also returned to Rome on Mr. Phillips' heels, and before week's end the deep concern of Mussolini, Ciano & Co. to delay real fighting was clearly...
...must to all men, death came last week to the youngest, most thoroughgoing dictator in the Western Hemisphere. At La Paz, loftiest capital of the Americas, sad-eyed, 35-year-old President Lieut.

For Old Horror, who was presumably feebleminded, could not, by the law of genetics, have inherited his feeble mind from one parent alone. Only "recessive" genes are involved in feeblemindedness, "which means that such genes must come from both parents for the effect to assert itself." Hence "the worthy Martin Kallikak Sr., himself had to be carrying such genes of feeblemindedness...
Died. Sidney Coe Howard, 48, topflight U. S. playwright (The Silver Cord, Alien Corn, Yellow Jack), cinemadapter (Bull Dog Drummond, Arrowsmith, Dodsworth), son-in-law of Conductor Walter Damrosch; when a tractor he was cranking lurched forward, pinned and crushed him against a garage wall; on his 700-acre farm near Tyringham, Mass. Born in Oakland, Calif, (where three brothers still live), Sidney Howard used to say that he "grew up in a mess of books . . . fumbled around for some kind of artistic expression." His fumbling took him to the University of California (where he wrote plays), to George Pierce...
