...Fatherland which the Duke and Duchess have now completed," remarked one of the Dictator's aides, "has shown how right Der Führer was in judging that King Edward's abdication would be a serious blow to German interests." With ladies Herr Hitler is always the pink of effusive German politeness, took both the Duchess of Windsor's hands in his own as he warmly said good-by to her, snapped a good-by Nazi salute at the Duke of Windsor who snapped one back...
...points over to a girl that looks like she'd kept pretty well, and I explain I want the Old lady's daughter. Then it turns out this is the daughter.

...mining camp into the jungle. The dogs flushed a pair of birds, the native fired, the male of the pair dropped to the ground. It was Dr. Chapin's long-sought bird. Of the pheasant family, it was feathered in metallic blacks, blues, greens, reds, had a long pink neck, small head, a curious, strawlike tuft protruding from its forehead. He named it "Congo Peacock,'' soon learned it was fairly common, traveled in pairs, but lived only in virgin jungle.
