...Enthusiasts" are two: quiet Mr. Smith, an engineer of London, exposer of the Protocols of Zion, tenacious fighter in many curious circumstances for justice to the Jews; and Liselotte Lewy, rich Viennese, sufferer by accident with Socialist workers shelled by the Heimwehr in 1934, convert to Communism, zealot of a happy collective farm, who even in the New Order fails to escape the old persecution...
...Paris L'Oeuvre splashed a typical Geneviève Tabouis story that on Sept. 3, when Unity was taking her usual Munich morning walk, two bullets were put into her by 19-year-old Nazi Zealot August Scharenbach on orders from Nazi Secret Police Chief Heinrich Himmler.

In November the Museum of Modern Art opened its doors with an exhibition of Lillie Bliss's fine...
Harry Hopkins, the social uplift zealot, remains today No. 1 Janizary but his position as head of WPA ties him down a bit. Jim Farley, converted last fortnight to the Purge-wherever it has a chance of working-remains Janizary No. 2 ex-officio, but his duties as Democratic National Chairman are gentle and routine, such as running to New England last week to beg Maine to "get in step." Solicitor General Jackson, now busy getting ready for the Monopoly Investigation, for a time was Janizary No. 3, but none of these can match in energy, facility or ubiquitousness...
