...Obscenity, with which Nazis smear Jews and priests, is part of the curriculum. "The Stunner, which writes almost exclusively about sexual outrages, bedroom gossip and scandal, is read in the schools to children between 6 and 14." Copies hang on classroom walls. Result: "Pupils have become possessed by pathological sexual aberrations." Nazi children are taught that motherhood is a duty, even of unmarried women, and "the number of illegitimate pregnancies and births among the members of the State Youth is tremendous."

But these are among his lighter reminiscences. Most haunting memory is of his father accusing him of monstrous vices, and, because his trousers were usually dirty, predicting...
...most dazzling celebrities, spend most of the year in a vacation cottage at Malibu Beach, send two of their three children to the U. C. L. A. nursery school. Capra's present contract at Columbia calls for one more picture. A major subject of current Hollywood gossip is whether, now that Writer Riskin has left Columbia to join Sam Goldwyn, Director Capra will follow him next year...
