Seven damp London winters have given Count Grandi rheumatism, and he has long wished to return to Italy. A recall so sudden that the British Government first learned of it from news dispatches came, however, as a surprise. Two months ago in a speech at the Embassy he violated diplomatic good manners by accusing Great Britain of a "foolish and criminal campaign of lies" against Germany and Italy and scoffing at the democracies' "furious impotence."

With the discovery of mutations some biologists decided that nothing else was necessary for evolution...

Many Danzig citizens preferred to spend the hot sunny day at the Baltic beaches, leaving the still Free City to a sudden influx of thousands of Nazi and Polish tourists, who keep a sharp eye on each other's movements...
