...alarm, rung in from box 481 at University Hall at 9:29 o'clock, brought three engine companies, two ladder companies, one rescue company, and countless delighted students to the scene. Brought to the public eye by the fire was the fact that the University Hall warning signal is the only fire alarm box in the Yard. A few minutes' delay occurred when the Navy sentry who first reached the call box failed to pull the alarm lever...
...universal too. Toward the reduction of this Babel one step is now being taken: the end of the war in Europe will certainly mean the end of the Nazi Ministry for National Enlightenment and Propaganda, of short-wave broadcast from Zeesen, of the Auslands-Deutsche organization, of Signal, the Nazi picture magazine, and of the Wagnerian dwarf, Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels...

A Technicolor panorama of the early stages of the North African invasion, it was filmed by 42 Signal Corps photographers under Cinemaestro Zanuck's personal direction. It has all the Zanuck fingerprints: it is flamboyant, melodramatic, sometimes corny, sometimes hysterical-but never dull. A pretty picture, it never approaches the unvarnished realism of the best Nazi or Soviet war films...
