...misery and semi-starvation of 1918. In Nürnberg, the Sudeten Germans' "Little Führer" Konrad Henlein suddenly arrived to confer with the Big Führer, went to bed with a very bad cold. Envoys of the Great Powers were received at tea by strict Teetotaler Hitler, and British Ambassador Sir Nevile Henderson was tantalized by not being able to talk to the Dictator before so many people about anything important. Tantalized Sir Nevile remained for days in Nürnberg, telling every prominent Nazi except Hitler what His Majesty's Government "might...
...chance at Art dates precisely from the time when the Industrial Revolution put an end to handicraft. Its prophets in Victorian England were William Morris and John Ruskin; one form of its fulfillment now is the Federal Art Project's Community Centre program (TIME, Sept. 5).

A tent is good enough to shelter the President at night, but if the hacienda of a rich Mexican is sighted toward dusk...
...wide break in commodity prices. By July, prices once more had begun a slow rise, although volume of trading was unbelievably thin. It was actually the beginning of Depression II, but almost to a man the brokerage community believed what Charles Gay put into his Exchange report-that too strict regulation by SEC was to blame. Wrote President Gay in his usual mild way: "I am fearful that, in an effort to cure what might be termed sporadic evils, undue restraints are being placed upon normal, proper action, thus creating abnormal market conditions. . . ."
