...wish to know in detail how lucky they are. Since Author Deuel has drawn on some 20 other books for much of his information, it lacks novelty, but not force. Some facts about the Nazi way of life: > Hitler said: "The program of our national socialist women's movement has only one point. That point is called the child." That has meant the almost total banishment of women from public office, their withdrawal from professions in favor of cannonfoddering and such "womanly" vocations as domestic service...

...faith in him is all that keeps the god alive. Defiantly the man shatters the god's sacred altar, forcing the god to destroy him and, in so doing, to destroy himself. The opera had so little drama in it, such paucity of stage movement, that New York Herald Tribune Critic Virgil Thomson labeled it "a secular cantata." The music seesawed in a narrow range between lyrical sweetness and sonorous majesty, soaring but once to fervent heights. Yet the opera could not be dismissed as a flop: it was fashioned with expertness, flavored with individuality, imbued with an inner...
