...what grounds (literary or others) dare you compare Bernanos' book to Hitler's? What have these two books, these two men, in common? You imply, rather you indeed say, that the Lettre aux Anglais is a raving book, a quixotic book, but of "greater sanity" (sic) than Mein Kampf! I have to make an effort to suppose that your collaborator meant well, but the parallel is scandalous. Please do keep in mind that only one out of 100,000 TIME readers has read through and understood Mein Kampf; therefore the majority will conclude that both elucubrations...
...Mein Kampf, with a flavor of more eloquent language, was the Cabinet's first public pronouncement. It reaffirmed the "antiCommunist character and the imperatives of the New European Order." It also reaffirmed Spain's "historical solidarity" with Portugal and the South American nations.

Members of the House and Senate know well that the lobby of the agricultural aristocrats is small, but they have nevertheless followed the parity line with the blind allegiance of a Storm Trooper to Mein Kampf. Congress has turned over the job of drafting policy to a group of professional lobbyists. If the bill passes the Senate as speedily as it went through the House of Representatives, the President can only veto it and issue the necessary decrees to control prices under his powers as Commander in Chief...
...Carter Bible will "do to the world what Mein Kampf did to Germany." This claim is put forth by a Biblical student from Worcester, Mass., named David Horowitz, who believes that "it was the word of God that brought Mr. Carter and myself together." The two met after Horowitz' return from the Holy Land, where he became a disciple of Moses Guibbory, who settled down as a hermit in a cave near Jerusalem and claimed discovery of a "secret code" to the Bible's original meaning. Carter contributed to the hermit's expenses, took up Hebrew...
