...fine story of the progress made by the Department of Agriculture in gaining control of the farming element of the nation. You state in almost so many words that the Department expects soon to control all agricultural activities except the minor details. And further on in the article you suggest that through the control of agriculture, control of all business will be obtained.

Rilke is one of the most difficult of poets to translate; but this passage on angels will faintly suggest both his quality and the violence of the Muzot experience...
...Adolf Hitler has lost contact with his people. No one but the Generals makes suggestions to the great dictator any more; he has made it known that he does not like advice. High officials have a difficult time even getting to see Hitler. Sometimes it takes weeks for them to get in to see him on highly important matters; when they succeed, Hitler uses them as an audience to rant at. Hitler is sure every German man and woman is fanatically behind him and his Greater Germany. No one would dare to suggest otherwise or bring to his attention...
