...room like a drum majorette." The "Rah, rah, rah!" refrain of Harvardmen, by Putzi's account, became the thunderous "Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!" of the Brownshirt demonstrations. Storm Trooper bands blared their goose-step rhythms with a between-halves unison. Such Nazi slogans as Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer were patterned on the effective use of catch phrases in U.S. election campaigns.

At the hearings, industrialists who furnished the C.D.U. with much of its funds pleaded that cartels were necessary for times of recession. Erhard leaped from...
Mary Stuart (adapted from Friedrich Schiller's drama by Jean Stock Goldstone and John Reich) is a great 150-year-old German classic which, despite the appeal of its heroine to English-speaking nations, seldom turns up in their theaters.
