...would stay by her husband, while the trial nodded on again, it was plain for all to see that loving the Führer in a foreign land had caused Fritz Kuhn a lot of trouble. Introduced as evidence were two notes by Mayor LaGuardia and Tom Dewey, written before Kuhn's arrest...
...present ruling is founded on a false principle. It assumes that a man taking courses in a subject remotely connected with his own field of concentration will automatically correlate the two fields. In a majority of cases this is impossible without the extra impetus of tutorial, examinations, or written papers combining both subjects. Without such assistance he is very apt to consider the courses merely as two completely unrelated entities.

Subtitled Evocation of the Past as a Mirror for the Present, it is a profuse record of peculiarly dizzy people in a peculiarly dizzy part of the world...
