...Herr von Ossietzky had just been awarded the $40,000 Nobel Peace Prize (TIME, Nov. 30), perhaps, as a great favor, the Ministry for Propaganda & Public Enlightenment would authorize them to interview the Prizeman in a sanatorium to which the Government had hastily transferred him from the prison camp. Secret Service and Propaganda Ministry officials were present at the interview and a Nazi doctor ominously warned. "Herr von Ossietzky is in a far more critical condition than he appears to realize...
...highly favorable to Japan (TIME, Nov. 30).

St. Nicholas became the patron of Russia, Greece, the Kingdom of Naples, Sicily, Lorraine, Limerick, of children, pawnbrokers, mariners, coopers, brewers. Children came to expect secret gifts from St. Nicholas on the eve of his feast (Dec. 6). This far from notable bishop did indeed become a public character when the gift-giving was transferred to Christmas Day. His now familiar garb is of Russian origin, his U. S. name a corruption of the Dutch...
