...time of her marriage; that would make her 28 or 29 now. It is virtually certain that Edda, whoever her mother was, was born out of wedlock. Socialist Mussolini, an extreme anticlerical, would scarcely have permitted himself a church wedding, and civil weddings were practically unheard of. Besides, it was common knowledge, until at least 1920, that Benito and Rachele had never bothered to go through a marriage ceremony. A romantic story has it that Edda's trips to London, made in the late 1920s ostensibly for pleasure, were to see her real mother, who, it is said, died...
...appreciative of the tremendous responsibility of administering such a program. There are some who say that it is too vast to be workable, too ambitious to be realized. I do not hold with these critics for a moment.

The Third Reich publishes 25,000 books annually (U. S. total is 11,000; Britain's 16,000). Scores of new writers, unheard-of before Hitler, have popped into the best-seller class. U. S. Writers Thomas Wolfe and William Faulkner are favorites of the Nazi Napoleons...
...Tokyo, up popped Kovichi Seito, hitherto unheard of Japanese brother-in-law of Dictator Busch. Guessed Seito: Bolivia will soon join the Anti-Comintern Pact. Guessed Bolivian Minister Dr. Antonio Campero Arce in Rome: Bolivia is a totalitarian State, it will soon join the Pact. Kept guessing in Washington, U. S. observers guessed hardest about Bolivia's oil barter deal with Germany, gasped at a rumor that an ex-German staff officer in Bolivia swung...
