...only because he is my brother and loves me as I love him.* ... [His] whole life is only connected with art." Gerhart did not tell the whole truth: on a visit to Moscow in 1935, Hanns was made head of the International Music Bureau. He composed the Communist battle song Komintern...
...paraders also carried double-life-size portraits of Stalin, Bulgarian Communist Boss Georgi Dimitroff and General Markos, self-proclaimed head of the "Free Greek State" (TIME, Aug. 25).

When Buddy got out of the Army in 1945, he was soberer, had a "new, terrific soul" in his voice. The Carnation program took a gamble on him (Mon. 10 p.m., NBC), and a Clark record...
