Despite his hearty, rugged, American patriotism, the Ambassador has long been more at home in Europe than America. As a youth he studied in Munich. He was in Russia when the World War started. As a correspondent for the Philadelphia Public Ledger he covered the early part of the War from Austria-Hungary and Germany. When the U. S. declared war, his knowledge of languages and European affairs landed him in the U. S. State Department, where he had an office only three doors from that of Franklin Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He was one of the youngest...
...book leads up to the 1938 European crisis and to the eve of the meeting of Hitler, Chamberlain, Mussolini and Daladier at Munich. On that night, Bauer writes, Goering, Goebbels, Von Ribbentrop and others, including the author, dined together. And at that meal, he says, Hitler was poisoned with a South American drug. The poisoning was arranged by high officials within the Nazi party, he says...

...exile from Germany's University of Munich, demure Dr. Bethe at Cornell has increased his repute as an atomic theorist like a snowball rolling downhill. It is hard to pick up a physics journal nowadays in which he has not some new light to shed on old problems, or in which other physicists do not find occasion to cite his work. Dr. Russell in Philadelphia last week left no doubt that this new work on the sun is a highly valued contribution-from an astrophysical point of view, very hot stuff indeed...
