...that afternoon, was not, he thought, one of these agents. Though Frank Jackson was suspected in Mexico City of being a shady character known as Leon Jacome, as Leon Haikys, as Jacques Mornard van den Dreschd and sometimes simply as el tipo Judio Frances (the French-Jewish type), Trotsky knew him as an admiring young disciple who contributed generously to the Fourth International. Six months before, Jackson had been brought to him by a Manhattan social worker named Silvia Ageloff, whose sister was once Trotsky's secretary. Jackson, a tall, dark, bespectacled young man, was a Yugoslav by birth...
Planes have also improved. The best types are mostly license-built from foreign designs: Heinkel 113 (385 m.p.h.), a heavy Junkers (155 m.p.h. with 2,200-lb bomb-load), the Nakajima I (Boeing-type bomber); and as fighters Devoitine 510 and Nakajima C-98 (352 m.p.h.).

...ferocious timbre of European war fare, the whole possibility of such megalomaniacs as Hitler, the whole suffering wreckage of European love and marriage. De Rougemont believes there is an almost universal schizophrenia, a tide rip created in millions of individuals between two hopelessly incompatible systems: the socially responsible, Christian type of love ingrained by Family, Church and State; and the anarchic, unappeasable passion which is literature's (and the cinema's) degraded heritage from the troubadours. An unattainable "happiness" has replaced an unattainable divinity. Under such cir cumstances it is inconceivable that any human marriage can survive...
Marshal Sperrle is the Prussian type-massive, heavy-featured, monocled. He flew in World War I, was shot down and severely wounded. He led the Condor Legion in the Spanish Civil War, where hundreds of Germany's best pilots received their battle training in relays...
