Dec. 23, 1940: If Greta Garbo is idle much longer, she'll have all the obscurity even she could ask, Jimmie Fidler says.

    Didja notice in Fidler’s lead, the extent Mia’s mom would go to be with Mia’s dad—move to British outpost Canada to become a Red Cross nurse to be with her Australian-born husband as he fought for the King of the Empire? Wow.

    The historical value of these pages never ends:
    I for one had no idea Mussolini throwing in with Hitler was seen by most Italians as unpopular. Explains why they publicly hanged him stripped naked once they finally got hold of him.
    It’s odd in the Times when a prominent list is butchered so badly: My guess as to what was meant in that montage recapping 1940 as
    “6.-Wendell L. Wilkie nominated, as voice of public prac-
    tically takes over in highly unusual convention.”
    should have been, perhaps, “as voice of public practicality” ???
