Last week in Manhattan, red-headed Strikebreaker Bergoff told the National Labor Relations Board some of the things that he and Tycoon Rand discussed last summer. "Most of the time." said he, "we talked about football. Jim [Harvard 1908] was telling me what a great football player he was. He thought he was better than Jim Thorpe in his younger days, and I told him he wasn't."

...more Red soldiers have to be flung over this line into the Far East, the better Adolf Hitler will be pleased. In Europe rumors that next spring is the time envisioned by Der Führer for a short, sharp drive to seize Leningrad began last week to take on some of the dignity of predictions. Nazi strategists, political as well as military, were said to feel that the greatest folly would be a German invasion a la Napoleon which would lose itself in vast Russia, but that internal Russian forces of disunion would overthrow the Bolshevik leaders once...
