Somebody has defined tragedy as the collision of two goods--or of two forces actuated by the best of motives. Such as the tragedy of Vienna; for the Heimwehr can hardly be held responsible for its actions. For them it is a case of crush the Socialists or perish when Germany feels strong enough to overwhelm Austria; if Dolifuss is able to unite his country behind him, his chances of resisting Germany will, of course, be enormously improved. But they will still be so dubious that he will have no alternative but to seek aid abroad...
...have been mentioned. But his position is the eminently reasonable one for those whose capitalism is not congenital but acquired. For the old rule, that those who are industrious and good shall have the earth and survive, and that those who are lazy and dissolute shall have nothing and perish, is a rule which Mr. Schwab has applied with conspicuous success. Through that rule, and a nice adjustment of principle, Mr. Schwab became chairman of Bethlehem, administered its affairs during the war with strength and dexterity, and gave it a surplus of which the jolliest profiteers were envious...
...week vacation when he received a cablegram from his subordinate, Auxiliary Bishop John J. Dunn. Bishop Dunn sought his superior's approval of a plan: for the New York archdiocese to seize upon and dramatize President Roosevelt's inaugural sentiment, "When there is no vision the people perish."

This is the method by which all real study is accomplished, and it has the advantage of preventing the student's point of view from being warped by opinions which may be peculiar to any individual or school of historians...
...Heil Hitler! Deutschland erwache! Juda verrecke!" they bellowed as he emerged waving his black felt hat. "Hail Hitler! Germany awake! Perish Juda!" Wasting not a second, Chancellor Hitler piled into his Mercedes beside the chauffeur, shot off between lines of police to form his Cabinet with record speed. There were rumors, doubtless untrue, but alarming, that General von Schleicher & Friends were about to attempt a "General's Putsch" and proclaim restoration of the House of Hohenzollern. In less than an hour the new Hitler Cabinet had met for a brief conference in the Reich Chancellery and Germans were staring...
