Imposing silence on his own colleagues, especially upon Idaho's sonorous constitutionalist, Wild Bill Borah, was Leader McNary's hardest job. Every morning he summoned them all to the green-baize table of his caucus room and made them vow tongue-holding again. "Let the boys across the aisle do the talking," he would say, smiling dreamily as he shot his cuffs. So it was not Borah or California's Johnson or Michigan's expletive Vandenberg who took the headlines in the Court debates. It was Virginia's red-hot Glass, Montana's Wheeler...
Talk. In London, presumably to attend an international whaling conference, was Dr. Helmuth Wohlthat, Adolf Hitler's star traveling salesman. He had been to Spain in early summer, and last spring he had signed in Rumania a sensationally successful trade agreement which all but made Rumania an economic dependency of the Third Reich.

Forty long-range Wellingtons made a 1,500-mile non-stop cruise to and from Marseille, where large crowds gathered in the streets to watch the demonstration. Lighter bombers cruised over Orleans and Paris. Not bashful were the British in pointing out that the Marseille bombers, had they veered slightly to the left, would have been over Turin, Italy's big munitions-manufacturing city, or had they taken a course directly eastward from Britain would have circled over...
...Spain died in the war, last week's celebrations made it plain that old Spaniards were still trying to run the show. Through 32 months of war and four months of peace, the same pre-war figures kept control of the State and the Army. No new military reputations were made on the Nationalist side of the war. Colorless, efficient General Franco was a familiar face in Spain long before the war, as were Generals Yague, Gómez Jordana, Aranda, Queipo de Llano, most of the old-line Monarchists, officeholders, Fascists, conservative Republicans who backed General Franco...
