...contains little new or startling. But for anyone who wants to keep Hitler's actual voice around the house, it is a collector's item. From shortwave radio speeches and from foreign recordings, the producers caught Hitler, Chamberlain, Daladier in action, fitted their own voices into the pattern of war in the making. Momentous remarks: Chamberlain, after Munich (sounding like a man having trouble with his uppers): "I believe it is peace for our time"; Hitler, less than a year later (while a quieter voice translates): "Our soldiers have been shot at, and since...
...world of medicine boasts some 6,000 medical journals, almost a tenth of them in the U. S. A major requirement for scientific publication is dullness. All articles in British and U. S. journals are cut to the same hidebound pattern: The problem is stated, its history reviewed (often from the time of Hippocrates), the experiments or clinical notes baldly recorded, briefly "discussed."

Last week it became plain that Kermit Roosevelt, plump and 50, had followed Father's fading footsteps out of the U. S. He had signed up as an officer in the British Army, thus automatically renouncing...
...hatched a solution to the age-old problem of what to do with one glove after the other is lost. This week their patented answer went on sale at Manhattan's swank Mark Cross Co. (leather goods). It was a glove which looked like a hand's pattern jig-sawed out of a board. It is made by sewing an identical back and palm to a leather ribbon edge. Loose and easy on the open hand, it bunches a bit when the fist is closed...
