"Strictly a one-man job" (he claims he has no organization, no help, no backers), it was worked on for four months. Then he founded the Argyle Press to publish...

Minister Robert Frazer, International Railways of Central America Manager Herbert Wilson and a swarm of Cabinet Ministers and bank presidents elbowed some 500 of El Salvador's other leading citizens for a look. Curiously, the most striking items of Southern U. S. art in the show (example: The Red Mill by New Orleans Painter Caroline Wogan Durieux) looked more Latin than...

Her husband, who died before the Anschluss, published some 200 children's books from different languages in an effort to broaden the viewpoint of Viennese primary school children, who were using "dreadfully nationalistic" primers. In off hours Frau Scheu-Riesz organized a kind of socialist salon where she mixed left social democrats, right social democrats, reformers, Communists and Nazis. Most of her guests have since "gone to camp," as she puts it-concentration camp, of course...
