...breeding of which British gentlemen are capable had gone into toning down the original questions. In the whole document there was not a single question mark. Cabinet members had struck out all reference to Austria, Memel, Eupen and Malmedy, keeping those possible objectives of Adolf Hitler beyond the pale of polite conversation. They had struck out Captain Eden's question about Hitler's intentions regarding the refortification of the Rhineland. Most important of all, they had struck out every mention of Hitler's demand for "colonial equality of rights" lest the answer be too disagreeable for British...
France's other bogey of the week was the new Chamber of Deputies which sits next month.

Puffing nervously at a cigaret, talking with pale fluttery fingers, M. Paul-Boncour explained France's position in an entirely new light...
...Phoenix and Holdrege, Neb. Caston conducted first at a Dell summer concert in 1931, when Albert Coates was suddenly taken ill. For a few hair-raising moments then, there was no Coates and no Caston, who had been arrested for speeding on his way from Atlantic City. Caston arrived pale and out-of-breath to learn that it was his night to conduct. There was no hesitancy about his performance. He earned his right then to become a Stokowski assistant...
