Denied a further extension of his four-month alien visitor's permit, rabbity British Earl Bertrand Arthur William Resell, famed libertarian logician, found he must leave the U. S. by year's end. Not anxious for U. S. citizenship, but wishing to qualify for a permanent chair of philosophy at the University of California (where he has been lecturing), Earl Russell will go to Ensenada, Mexico, try to persuade the U. S. consul there to admit him permanently...
...President invoked them. Correspondents at a regular press conference saw him in vigorous mood, as ebullient and confident as in the crisis days of 1933. Behind him sat pale, libertarian Frank Murphy. Mr. Roosevelt announced that what he was about to say would justify no scarelines, nothing but calm. He said this again, and again. "For the proper observance, safeguarding and enforcing of the neutrality of the United States," he then proclaimed a national emergency. (Orally he called it a "limited emergency" by way of minimizing it.) By that stroke he assumed many powers which would be his in actual...
...whole legion of non-Communist but hitherto sympathetic pinkos, the New Republic and the Nation deplored "Stalin's Munich," Hitler's "colossal diplomatic victory." For thousands of citizens who had contributed to the Front simple libertarian goodwill, there was no outlet save a murmur of disillusion over the land.

Pastor Niemoller was no Marxist, no pacifist, no libertarian. He had, indeed, been an early supporter of Naziism, and the .bourgeoisie and old army families who made up his congregation accepted, broadly, a Nazi view of "the Jewish problem." But for Martin Niemoller, Naziism could go just so far. When "German Christians" sought to Nazify the Evangelical Church, when the Reich sought to apply the "Leader Principle" to church government...
...Manhattan studios of the Vocalion Company, which has her under exclusive contract, to make a batch of records. One number, which she had been singing at a new downtown hotspot called Café Society, she particularly wanted on wax. Called Strange Fruit, it had been written by a libertarian New York public school teacher named Lewis Allan and its lyric was a poetic description of a lynching's terrible finale. Billie liked its dirgelike blues melody, was not so much interested in the song's social content. But Vocalion was. The record was never made...
