...button. Hitler's extravagant madness broke over Europe in a dark wave. He began with Poland at the end of the summer of 1939. As usually happens with history in the process of occurring, it was sometimes difficult for the world to weigh Hitler, to judge him, to predict him, to know his ambition or his lunacy.

It is too early to know precisely what story will one day symbolize the transition from that period to whatever comes next.

Still, Ace Hurler Steve Rogers, the first pitcher in the N.L. to record 17 wins this season, has lost three of his last five games.
