Sharply in the minds of political wiseacres was this thesis: if either combatant should win that battle clearly and conclusively, he would be a No. 1 figure in U. S. politics next year. And the Washington wise men added: besides Vandenberg and Roosevelt, no other man in either party stands to gain so much by winning the Neutrality debate...
...found out (see p. 29). All manner of meaning lay upon that carving, who got what, and why; how closely Hitler and Stalin were collaborating, and for how long; in which direction, if any, Stalin planned to go-and here was the answer, more perplexing than the problem itself.

The executioners were seven Rumanian soldiers, each of whom drew a pistol and killed one of the seven Iron Guards. The bodies slumped to the pavement, gushing blood and sprawled grotesquely next to those of two Iron Guards who had committed suicide, to lie there in the street for 24 hours. This object lesson was captioned by a huge banner draped by police clear across the street: "Let this be an example to all assassins and traitors in the country...
