...since the 1930s, when Adolf Hitler rallied the German people with his guttural call for Ruhe und Ordnung, has Western Europe been so preoccupied with the problem of law and order. This fact is curious in itself, since Europe is suffering from none of the specific agonies that are presently afflicting the U.S. There is no angry debate over Viet Nam to polarize European populations, no comparable student concern with the draft, no race problem of remotely similar scope...
...meaning of the German phrase Neue Ordnung is closer to "new ordering" than it is to "new order." At any one place the Neue Ordnung is simply a series of orders, adapted to local and day-to-day expedients, often countermanded by higher authority.

In Berlin his party henchmen declared blankly, "July will be a month of truce. Also no more Cabinet meetings are scheduled for July." An inspiration. widely published by the official Press, exhorted all unmarried...
Today the watchword of "Old Paul"-repeated in nearly all his public addresses amid tremendous applause-is this noble and useful platitude: "Ordnung muss sein!" ("There must be order...
