...those who stayed tuned in during the war crisis, Then Came War: 1939, a MARCH OF TiMEstyle dramatization (with background by Commentator Elmer Davis) of the ten tumbled days that ushered in World War II, contains little new or startling. But for anyone who wants to keep Hitler's actual voice around the house, it is a collector's item.

Momentous remarks: Chamberlain, after Munich (sounding like a man having...

Most of them had never seen either West Point or South Bend, but this was their "Homecoming Game." Notre Dame rooters were proud of their team's record. In five games so far this season it had defeated Purdue, Georgia Tech, Southern Methodist, Navy, Carnegie Tech-none of them pushovers. But to Army rooters that record was just the luck of the Irish: a field goal...
