...Boston Cecilia hits with ease: the narrator will call, "Sie aber sprachen," and the chorus will resound with the answer, "Jesum von Nazareth."

King James I of England in 1604 branded the habit "loathsome." Even Adolf Hitler was a fanatical opponent of tobacco; signs declaring DEUTSCHE WEIBER RAUCHEN NICHT (German women do not smoke) were posted throughout the Third Reich during World...
