...hands were assembled in the Bürgerbräu Keller, a low, barnlike building on Rosenheimerstrasse beyond the Deutsches Museum, and across the Isar River from Munich proper. Old friends greeted each other in the big, oblong beer hall-sanctum sanctorum of the Nazi Party, perhaps the best guarded room frequented by the best guarded man in the world. The veterans packed the balcony; pressed around the one central pillar supporting the entire ceiling; crowded to the very foot of the speaker's white rostrum. The big men-Hitler, Göebbels, Himmler, Frick, Hess, Ley, Rosenberg, Streicher...
...peace appeal of The Netherlands' Queen Wilhelmina and King Leopold of the Belgians (see p. 17) was shelved last week was an indication of how desperate the Allies thought Germany's position. And the attempted assassination of Führer Adolf Hitler in such a Nazi sanctum sanctorum as the Munich beer hall lent substance to much wishful thinking that Germany was near an internal revolution.

But then, naturally, the Italian people do not read...
...impractical because, by barring totalitarians from his laboratories, Bridgman does not prevent them from obtaining the information contained therein. If anything of military importance is developed in the Bridgman sanctum sanctum, it is being sane rather than romantic, to admit that the dictatorships can easily obtain the required information at second hand. But the most telling criticism levelled at the recent ban is not one of impracticality. By endeavoring to combat fascism by means of a typical fascist technique, the learned professor is setting a precedent which may easily lead to less harmless abuses of the American tradition of freedom...
