...family also puts out Who Knows−And What, Who's Who in Commerce and Industry and several other similar books in which names often go that do not make the parent edition. For imitators who pirate his list for other books, Editor Sammons has devised a neat trap. Under every alphabetical division, he has a "burglar alarm," a fake listing of a nonexistent person with an address that leads right back to Who's Who's door. Pirates trapped last year...

Steel blue of eye, trap-tight of lip, Hans von Seeckt was called "the Sphinx." The Sphinx's two rules for the Reichswehr as a political power: it must be 1) "above party," and 2) "a state within a state." In the early '20s, Seeckt kept the telephone pact with the Socialists, at the same time busied himself with building up the cadres of a new German army and a new armament industry-both...
