During World War II, doctors in The Netherlands and Scandinavia noted a curious fact: despite the stresses of Nazi occupation, the death rate from coronary artery disease was slowly dropping. Not until long after the war-1950, in fact-did they get a hint of the reason. That year, Sweden's Haqvin Malmros showed that the sinking death rate neatly coincided with increasingly severe restrictions on fatty foods. That same year the University of California's Dr. Laurance Kinsell, timing oxidation rates of blood fats, stumbled onto the discovery that many vegetable fats cause blood cholesterol levels...
...Young Socialist Alliance of Boston has sent out an alarm to "the workers, students, Negro and Jewish people of Boston" to join in a counter picket line on Sunday at 1 p.m. against the American Nazi Party. "The Hitlerite Monster," as the Alliance calls the group, plans to demonstrate outside the Saxon Theatre in Boston to protest the showing of the motion picture "Exodus...
When the blacklist of Nazi mass murderers was drawn up for the Nürnberg war crimes trials, Baer was presumed dead-The two SS men who commanded Auschwitz before him were caught and hanged by the Poles, one of them on gallows especially built so that the last sight to meet his eyes would be the camp in which he had sent an estimated 2,000,000 innocent Jews to their death. After Exterminator-in-Chief Adolf Eichmann was found in Argentina last May, West German intelligence officers started a fresh search for Baer...
...mind that conceived The Loser is obviously steeped in good will. But as its author says when speaking of his Nazi non-hero: "As so often happens, pen and mind tell a different story." Hans Winterschild, a Nazi infantry officer, is the loser of the title, and so, by reasonable extension, is Germany. But what if Hans and Hitler had been the winners? There are times when The Loser all but implies that the Allies would have been proved wrong, or so a cynic could argue. Hans is a case-history figure, a dedicated Nazi who never had to contend...
...take themselves too seriously. High hopes are held for Brecht's Jungle of the Cities, which is opening now. Unfortunately, this is far from the poet's finest work, though New York seems ready for good Brecht. The Wall, by Millard Lampell, is a good reminder of the Nazi atrocities, but it is too reminiscent of Diary of Anne Frank in style and tone. Moreover, the hero is finally convinced of the necessity of resistance by a spirit of mystical heroism, rather than by the wall at his back. It seems as if Lampell wanted to have his historical cake...
