...first place the numbers added each year to the classes of musical appreciation at the Music School, while the eminence of the teacher may be the cause of drawing a certain group, indicate a general desire to acquire some sort of idea of "what music is all about." In the second place the number of students attending the concerts in the past few years has grown perceptibly. But these general observations are less stable than actual figures; occasionally economic facts are more digestible. In this case it deals with the sale of phonograph records; and the fact is rather amazing...
Spectator. The story opens in 1914 with one Brosius, a high school teacher as brutal as the one in Remarque's book, bullying delicate young Leo Silberstein, a Jew. Leo serves only to provide the author with the bleak picture of a despised race. The author is likewise merely a spectator when adults talk politics; when the workers march singing behind their arrested leader; when Germans who were once social and political enemies fall hysterically into each other's arms because "they need their hatred for the other people''; when philosophical Ferd is stoned for predicting...

It is not going to be easy to find the individual who can make Germanic Culture live as did Kuno Francke...
...with undoubted intimacy-Joseph Patrick Tumulty, for 13 years his private secretary, confidant, biographer. Choking with indignation, Mr. Tumulty assailed the anonymity of Professor Pitkin's informant: "If this be a privilege reserved to psychologists or psychoanalysts, as Professor Pitkin is supposed to be, as well as a teacher in a school of journalism, then the privilege has long ago been usurped by the ghouls who invaded the tombs of the historic ancient dead, as Professor Pitkin now invades that noble sarcophagus in the National Cathedral in the Capital of the Nation...
