...with the Emperor of Japan (see p. 37) his successor as president of United Press, Karl A. Bickel. was received in Berlin by Chancellor Hitler, put the pertinent question whether if Nazi nationalism should spread to other lands the result would be favorable to international peace. Coining a new paradox, Herr Hitler said. "The result would be 'International Nationalism' of the highest type throughout the world. . . . This would facilitate the solution of the most difficult problems...
Undoubtedly only political differences can be the cause for the existence of such an inexcusable situation. But that one of the paramount objectives of the fire department -- to save lives -- should be frustrated by its own chief is a paradox which might almost be humorous if the results were not so grave. If the City of Cambridge is interested in its own protection, even though it may not be in its government, it should support the investigation which is now being conducted, and make sure that it is carried through to its logical and only conclusion...

McCormick was neatly pinked by genial Dean Christian Gauss of Princeton. Dean Gauss said he knew...
...fact that Maxim Litvinov, a moderate at heart, has been able to hold his popularity and power in the Communist Party is just another paradox of the Stalin regime. Some 100% Bolshevists excuse him for the position he holds. As Foreign Commissar it is his duty to move among tainted bourgeois, wear bourgeois clothes. It is not unnatural that he should occasionally think bourgeois thoughts. With his wife and two children and one "house worker" he occupies a four-room apartment over a garage behind the former palace of a Moscow tycoon. Official dinners are held in state rooms...
