...something about the "Braun Babies." Many of their parents, declared General Goring, must have seen by this time the errors of Marxism and become good Nazis. "Provided the parents' political attitude is not objectionable," he announced, "I am ready to take over the obligation of godfatherhood." Generous, this offer gave Braun Babies an inside track in the rush of hausfrauen who continue eager to get their offspring godfathered by Bachelor Hitler, Bachelor Roehm, Chief of Staff of the Storm Troops or other Nazi leaders who, in the main, show a taste for celibacy at surprising variance with their preachments...

This city magistrate of yesteryear was the unwelcome subject of one of Judge Seabury's most lurid revelations, and the charges projected at him caused the hasty removal of his ponderous bulk from the New York bench. A patriarch among patriarchs, he had scattered largesse with a generous hand to kith and kin; the exact number of relatives to whom he flung the bounteous purse of the city pay-roll was declared, after investigation, to be 39. And the thirty-nine McQuades have occupied and will occupy a foremost place in the annals of municipal government in America, rubbing...
