...opening show set the pattern for the series: two masters-of-ceremonies (Cinemactress Anna Neagle in London, Actor Philip Merivale in Manhattan); two orchestras (Glenn Miller's A.A.F.T.C. band and the London Fire Service Orchestra) ; British comedians Flanagan & Allen v. U.S. comic Red Skelton; Irving Berlin from Bristol...

Building walls have been marked with the swastika, and pornographically hateful descriptions of the Jews. At least two Protestant churches in the area have been similarly desecrated. . . . The assault incidents have a uniform pattern. In each case the hoodlum demands to know the religion of his intended victim.
