...Mexican studio would give a U. S. radio producer the jitters. Performers wander around, often exchange quips with the studio audience. No "Applause" and "Silence" signs interfere with the fun at these clambakes. Studio spectators tolerate no interference with their right to cheer or boo. Like all Mexicans, they delight in amateur programs. Favorite among gong shows is one sponsored by Bristol-Myers (Sal Hepatica, Ipana) which has been broadcast from XEW every Thursday night for five years.

He acquired, among other beasts, a panther, a magnificent, tame, young lion, a buffalo, a young elephant, a hyena, a dwarf hippopotamus, two little sacred pythons whose delight was to weave themselves upon his ankles.

A professor of law delivers, to the delight of his students, a perverse, seditious lecture on theories of Nazi justice. A sailor is shot for having attended a workers' mass meeting in Manhattan. The local head of the Gestapo cracks under the strain to his decency, warns the city's Jews on the eve of the pogrom of November 1938. In the closing story a mediocre Nazi writer rediscovers his honesty, gets...
