Also from London came the voice of Frau Mathilde Wurm, 13 years a Socialist member of the Reichstag, a Jewess, now living in Great Britain in virtual exile. Speaking in English, she told the Conference that Hitlerism, having wooed the support of German women with promises of liberation from underpaid drudgery, betrayed them by expelling women from civil and professional life, and by handing them over to farm and household labor without...

Any player on a Rockne team was considered a miniature master mind; to have played on a Notre Dame team was qualification...
...this cheer was for morale, to cheer up the public. For several years doctors have tried to scare everyone with a new, unaccountable lump on his body into running for medical examination. That was all very well, until psychiatrists began to complain that they were being overworked and underpaid by daffy cancer-phobes. It seemed wise to right-face concerning cancer, sound an encouraging clarion...
