commentary published March 27 on the latest international socialist activity as to global warming and penalizing anything that emits that frightening substance carbon dioxide.

As an aside, to too many educated in the United States after its government schools were given over to the intellectual sloth of the Nation's teachers colleges, "Munich" only inspires visions of quaffing beer in lovely Bavaria; mention of an infamous chat there between Neville Chamberlain and Adolph Hitler brings forth, at most, "Oh yeah, that." And Smoot Hawley sounds maybe like the name of a contemporary entertainer.
