...weeks of each other gave their lives in the service of their country in time of war. I have read the article in your Aug. 28 issue in which you say that General McNair left an estate of only $2,720. Surely this must be the strictly legal estate and there must have been some insurance in addition. Nevertheless, I am sending you herewith a small check [forwarded to Mrs. McNair-ED.] and I trust others will do likewise until there is a sizable fund accumulated for the benefit of the families of the General...
FurtwĠngler managed to delay the "Aryanization" of the Berlin Philharmonic for many months.

When FurtwĠngler issued a statement that art could not flourish under political domination, Goebbels cracked: "Politics, too, is an art, and what is more, the highest and most comprehensive art of all."

...this cleavage was by no means absolute. The 1943-44 Court had agreed on most major matters: upholding the NLRB, picketing and price control; sustaining new and higher taxes, protecting civil liberties. The differences were over minor matters, often legalistic, and generally representing differences in legal approach. Broadly speaking, the Black school would usually uphold Congress, as representing the new will of the people; while the Frankfurter school would hold fast to previous law and hoary precedent. Not since May 1936 had the Supreme Court overturned a law of Congress...
