...fire-eating, conscienceless nationalist speaks shrilly from the past. Standing a stone's throw from the infamous Dachau, where a refugee camp now huddles, I listened to the booming voice of Franz Jilka: "Give us another war!" Jilka is one of three million Sudeten Germans driven from Czechoslovakia after the last war. He is an old Social Democrat, 64, grizzled, tough and thirsting for revenge. "Would I fight!" he exclaimed. "Give me the chance! All three million of us are waiting for the war-that is the only way we can get back our land. Give us the arms...
...Marino is the world's oldest (1,648 years), smallest (38 sq. mi.) and least populous (12,000) republic. For the past four years it has also been the only Communist-dominated state west of the Iron Curtain. Surrounded by Italy, San Marino's fortress, La Rocca, overlooking the Adriatic, towers above the grey stone face of Mount Titano (145 miles north of Rome).

With Rothenstein they agreed that over the past 70 years of Chantrey buying, the Royal Academy selection committees had picked a high percentage of bad pictures and missed a lot of good ones. Wrote a Manchester Guardian Weekly critic: "Once the eye has been thoroughly glazed by the pompous onslaught of indomitable mediocrity, it is fascinating to wander limply through the galleries, no longer resisting ..." In the Spectator, Harold Nicolson suggested that a detailed, illustrated catalogue of the Chantrey purchases should...
...past ten years, a slim, long-faced cockney girl with big blue eyes and a big blue voice has been the queen of England's popular singers. By last week, Vera Lynn's voice was being heard across the U.S. - and if she wasn't yet the queen of U.S. singers, she was at least high on the list of ladies in waiting...
