...Kikeriki!" "Comrades!" roared Communist Deputy Ernst Torgler as the Reichstag convened, "Do you know that working men are being clubbed to the ground outside this building? Donner und Blitz! What a way for this Reichstag to open!" In mass formation, with military tread, eyes front, the 107 new Fascist Deputies entered the Reichstag. When it last met they numbered twelve.

In fact, the Dunster House party of 1933 may even rival the Lowell House High Table...
