Germany plans to move thousands of Austrian Jews, and The Times buries the story with a one-column hed on Page 8. Below, how does Margaret Bourke-White get those terrific pictures? Why she smokes Camels!

    on May 6 1938 Jack Parsons (google him) one of the most interesting fellows to ever walk in Los Angeles testified against Kynette. And you chose TODAY to skip the front page?

    Not only does Margaret Bourke-White smoke Camels ( I guess smoking Donkey’s wouldn’t be an acceptable alternative) but she also listens to Jewish comedy and music – Benny Goodman and Eddie Cantor. Another secret as her picture illustrates, is that she uses flash bulbs!
    Anyone remember flash bulbs? Popping them out while they were still hot to the hand was one of their special delights.
    Flash bulbs, Jewish entertainers, and Camels were all one needed to be great in nineteen-thirties America.
