...boycott of German goods and services, Lawyer Untermyer is acting not as lawyer, not as U. S. citizen, not as religionist, but as a Jew outraged by persecutions of fellow Jews.

In labeling Lawyer Untermyer "Jew" in contrast to "German" for Ambassador Luther, TIME was strictly, significantly accurate. TIME did not thereby intend affront to Jewish sensibilities or express sympathy with the Nazi cause...

He was going to sit over the oil tank, so that the uncomfortable heat would keep him awake. As he yelled good-by a fanatical gleam...
...prosecuting the charges. At the other side was a third table where rigidly upright sat Defendant Louderback, flanked by Attorneys James M. Hanley and Walter H. Linforth. Judge Louderback's hands were folded over his paunch and his pale drawn face, with its puffy, unblinking eyes, was a mask of haughty indifference. Senators, exalted from their role of legislators to that of judges in a court from which there is no appeal, listened hour after hour to the flow of evidence, but could make no speeches.
