This recording by Toscanini is rushed to an almost incredible degree. None of the full majesty that is Beethoven is brought to light. None of the sudden v-like bursts in phrasing that have always been conceded to show Beethoven to greatest advantage are present. No idea is given its full value or properly developed. Some one in speaking of the album said it was "electric"-if by that they mean it travels at the speed of light, It's a good description. The album gives you the Impression that Toscanini deliberately set out to play Beethoven the way Toscanini...
...expressed approval of traditional U. S. foreign policy (except for the New Deal "blunder"' of recognizing Soviet Russia), esteems seasoned well-respected ex-Secretary of State Henry Stimson, who in turn thinks highly of Secretary of State Hull.

If there was any doubt about what Turkey's Foreign Minister Saracoglu meant when, on his way to last fortnight's Balkan Entente meeting, he said: "Turkey is not neutral but only nonbelligerent for the moment," it was dispelled last week by a sudden Turkish gesture. Under the emergency powers voted to the Government by Parliament last month, Turkey seized the Krupp shipyards on the Golden Horn and dismissed 20 German technicians employed there outfitting two new Turkish submarines, together with 60 other Germans working at the Gremlik naval base, in an explosives factory...
...defection from the Chungking Government and the subsequent collapse (they hoped) of Chiang Kai-shek's regime. Wang fled but Chiang stayed. That meant the Japanese would have to fight some more. Their plan was to try to engulf Chungking in a giant pincer, north and south. A sudden drive, almost unresisted, took Nanchang to the South. But then the Chinese had a series of successes greater than any they had enjoyed in the whole...
