...years ago the question "Who is George Dimitroff?" could have been answered with enthusiasm only by his old mother. Then German police arrested Bulgarian Dimitroff in their frantic efforts to arrest almost anyone except the Nazis who everyone believes set fire to the Reichstag (TIME. March 6, 1933. et seq.). It was assumed that innocent Communists could be browbeaten before the German Supreme Court into confessing that they had set the fire, or at least that their mouths could be stopped by execution. In stead the Supreme Court acquitted all except the half-witted Dutchman Marinus van der Lubbe. During...

Last year they had Diego Rivera repaint in Mexico City's pink-domed National Theatre the magnificent fresco mural the Rockefellers had ordered out of Manhattan's Rockefeller Center (TIME, May 22, 1933, et seq.).

Spilsbury Sniff. Never a crime of "Spilsbury calibre" was the "Rats" murder but last week Britain's real-life Sherlock Holmes, the great criminal pathologist Sir Bernard Spilsbury (TIME, March 4 et seq.), was called on a case exactly to his taste when the potman of a pub in South London went nosing down into a cellar disused for years. Next door to the pub is the Old Surrey Theatre, now being torn down but in Queen Victoria's day the mecca of thrill-thirsty folk who loved to see dramas of ripe, purple blood and thunder...
