Bulgaria is trying all public order offences in military courts, resulting in death penalties galore, some of which, possibly hundreds, are being immediately carried out.
Paul von Hindenburg, “77 years old and looking it,” gives the opening speech of his presidential campaign in Hanover. He complains about his candidacy being portrayed as signaling “imminent military reaction” (imminent military reaction is the worst sort of military reaction) and looks back fondly to the period when “I had the good fortune to hold the enemy back from our borders with a united nation behind me.” And a large heap of dead soldiers in front of him. He does acknowledge the Weimar Constitution, semi-believably. “I am not a militarist,” he says, not especially believably. “Also I am not the class murderer which I am pictured.”
Tonight is... the night they raided Minsky’s (not the first nor the last time). I’ve recently rewatched that movie and realized I’ve been mixing up Britt Ekland and Elke Sommer my entire life.
