Italy has no No. 2 Fascist, no political heir apparent to Benito Mussolini, but in Berlin high-pitched, vegetarian, nonsmoking Adolf Hitler knows only too well the sumptuous apartment of the bass-voiced, carnivorous, robust No. 2 Nazi...
...biggest slice of all-a $38,450,000 order for two 10,000-ton cruisers and four destroyers (see p. 10). The youngish onetime automobile salesman was at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. when these things happened.

Big William Brand may be seized with a desire to slap his double-bass, almost steal the percussion away from Drummer Sonny Greer. Duke Ellington lets all his players have their say but listens particularly to the shrewd advice of pale Cuban Juan Tizol, his valve trombonist...
