...longer will homing U.S. tourists shiver as they smuggle cheap, paperbound, Tauchnitz classics ("Not to be introduced into the British Empire or the U.S.A.") past uninterested U.S. customs officers. The Nazis have decreed that the century-old Tauchnitz Library must cease publishing works of U.S. and British writers, which make up the bulk of its 6,000 English-language titles...

There came a day when, in the finest symbolic moment in the book, Ling Sao, cleaning a rice cauldron with sand, felt the vessel shiver in her hands, and ring with the rumor of distant artillery. The peasants vaguely began to realize that they must expect "the little dwarfs from the East Ocean, who always like to fight."

But last week Nick was still doing business...
Smooth and open before the Nazi armies last week lay the road to Moscow-only about 225 miles more of it compared to 400 they had already covered. But were the Muscovites downhearted? Confounding outside observers, who a month ago predicted that the whole Soviet system would shiver and collapse like a card-house at the breath of modern war, U.S. newsmen in Moscow and a handful of U.S. citizens who got out of Russia by the Trans-Siberian Railway painted a far different picture...
