...amazingly prophetic, frothy mouthed, full text of Mein Kampf has now become a historical curiosity as well as a psychopathic marvel, and last week, on the same day, two Manhattan publishing firms brought out the first unexpurgated U. S. translations of the Nazi Good Book. One firm (Reynal & Hitchcock) will presumably earn royalties for the Führer, the other (Stackpole), being printed in defiance of the Hitler copyright, will not. Excess profits from both will go to German refugee organizations...
Anent the New Zealand egg story [TIME, Feb. 13]. No marvel to readers is the fact that bedridden Harold Ryder "set" on a chicken egg and succeeded in hatching it. Any constantly warm location would have done the same for said egg. The marvel lies in the fact that Mr. Ryder, who probably weighs between 100 and 200 pounds, was able to lie abed with an egg for 25 days and nights and not so much as crack the shell...

...invite attention to one H. C. Hopson . . . the dominant figure and guiding spirit of the Associated Gas & Electric System. As a dominant figure he is a marvel and I think he admits it. As a guiding spirit he leaves nothing undone to accomplish his purpose. ... In my opinion under the present setup, no body can effectively regulate such an organization. It is too big, too powerful, its officials are too fast and its lawyers too smart. ... I have seen them juggle their books, juggle their cash, juggle foreclosure sales where they were both buyer and seller, juggle their taxes, juggle...
...bleak Gull Rock, at the Shelburne harbor mouth, Alf Kenney had cause to marvel more. A monster tuna took his bait and for 4½ hr. he learned what it is like to be attached to an animated submarine. Back aching, arms numb, slim Alf Kenney stuck it out, killed his fish and when it tipped official scales at 864 lb., received congratulations on a new world record-13 lb. heavier than the North Sea tuna caught in 1933 by Mitchell Henry of England...
