Stoumen picked Marlene Dietrich to narrate the film and the choice is both daring and appropriate. Her taut Teutonic phrasing, with its Dietrichy ws for rs, never lets the listener forget that a German is telling the story of Germany's shame. "How did it happen in this lovely land?" she asks. Stoumen shows Hitler in his schoolboy days, as a young corporal during World War I. The viewer gets a look at Hitler's competent paintings and drawings (all without a single human figure). Stoumen's cleverest stroke is the use of Kaulbach's illustrations...
...five Ws and the H-Who, What, Where, When, Why and How-make up a time-honored formula for the contents oj a good news story. In the crush oj reporting the news every hour on the hour, or every day by the day, one-and perhaps the most important one-oj the Ws is often slighted. Each week TIME gives intense attention to that...
...next step ws to recruit a suitable group of workshop-leaders. Several Faculty-members volunteered at once; the others were sought out individually, and asked if they would like to participate. The Committee of Advanced Standing was (and still is) charged with the responsibility of approving all proposals for the individual workshops. Meanwhile, it delegated much of its straight administrative work to the Office of Advanced Standing. And upon this office has now devolved the job of maintaining some semblance of order amidst the welter of different, and sometimes conflicting, ideas that surround the Freshman Program Byron R. Stookey...
...intercontinental jet bombers, then let fly at supersonic speed at ranges of 100 miles or more to dump hydrogen warheads onto targets. Just about operational is the Air Force's 100-mile, 1,000-m.p.h. Bell Rascal, already in pilot production. North American's Project WS-131B is an experimental supersonic hydrogen-warhead item with a 350-mile range. And Convair's new supersonic 6-58 jet bomber carries a B58 Pod that can be used, among other things, as a powered air-to-ground missile or a free-fall hydrogen bomb...
...WS-110A, in the works for more than two years, is the natural successor to the Boeing B-52 (now replacing the long-range B-36) and an advance on Convair's B58 Hustler, a Mach 2 medium bomber (not yet operational). Both the B-52 and B58 require refueling on intercontinental missions, while the WS-110A should be able to fly from Chicago to Moscow and back without refueling. If the WS-110A prototype proves its worth, the plane could be in production in about five years, an important ace in the sky in the event that untried...
