...Fuhrer's train was brought to an emergency stop nearly two kilometers from the collision. Alighting with Economic Dictator Dr. Hjalmar Schacht and Defense Minister General Werner von Blomberg, Herr Hitler strode back through the fog. At the fatal crossing he found 13 corpses. Seven other actors were groaning in pain. Above the dead Realmleader Hitler made his supreme gesture, the Nazi salute.

The seven injured were taken away to hospitals, one dying en route. A fresh...

Since this would be enough to pay the interest for over two years on the Dawes and Young bonds now belligerently defaulted...
...genuine sincerity . . . but I don't want to commit myself." . . . Sir Ronald Lindsay, British Ambassador, boomed and hawed amiably, sang a snatch of Gilbert & Sullivan. . . . Frank Arthur Vanderlip tossed pearls that he might have sold to the Saturday Evening Post: "My deductions from talk with Minister of Economics Schacht is that things in Germany will be worse before they get better. Their need of cotton is acute. Their need of metal can be staved off for a time." . . . Kermit Roosevelt Jr., 18, found Russia "dirty and buggy." . . . Fannie Hurst thanked God "that we are not a singing country yet." . . . Grand...
