...Manhattan art firm of Michael Knoedler & Co., quiet, old and svelte, has a quasi-institutional aura which many dealers envy. At least once a year Knoedler's puts on a "prestige show," a big loan exhibition of masterwork in which no single item is ostensibly for sale. Last week, Knoedler displayed against the black velvet of its inner rooms 58 borrowed pictures by three French artists of the early 19th Century: Gros, Géricault, Delacroix. The gate receipts were to go to a society called "La Sauvegarde de l'Art Fran...

Instead he received, from District Leader Adolf Wagner, a snarl: "If Faulhaber mends his ways, he will be protected better than the police can protect him." Thereupon a Nazi mob ganged up to the Cardinal's palace, smashed...
Meanwhile, Archbishop Michael J. Curley of Baltimore encouraged his Austrian colleagues and excoriated their Nazi enemies from a Washington pulpit in a way no German bishop would dare. "The madman Hitler and the cripple-minded Goebbels," he cried, "cannot silence the gentle and humble and courageous Cardinal Archbishop of Munich, nor can they silence the brave Innitzer [Archbishop of Vienna]. . . . No decent person can condone the actions of the madman Hitler and the cripple-minded Goebbels. . . . If Hitler does not like what I say about him and his cripple-minded Minister of Propaganda, let him take up the matter with...
