| A Letter from One Who Saw the First German Prisoners (NY Times, 1915) This W.W. I letter was written by a French infantryman who had participated in one the earliest battles of 1914. In this letter, that managed to make it into the French, British and American papers, the Frenchman took a good deal of time to describe his impressions of the first German prisoners to be taken in the war: "Their appetite is so great that, though in [the] presence of a French officer they will click their heels together properly, they never cease at the same time to munch noisily and to fill out their hollow cheeks." |

| POWs at Fort Dix (PM Tabloid, 1945) "German prisoners of war are not coddled at the Fort Dix camp. The PWs are not mistreated, but neither is any kindness shown them. The officers supervising them are not cruel or lenient; they adhere strictly to the letter of the Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners." PM reporter Jack Shafer knew all this to have been true, because he went to Fort Dix and saw for himself. |
| ''STAY HOME!'' (Hollywood Magazine, 1929) "The advent of talking pictures has enormously increased the number of those who vision a fairyland of fame and fortune if they can only reach Hollywood...

Periodically the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce broadcasts warnings". |

| Leaving Hollywood (Collier's Magazine, 1956) Here is a short, well illustrated article about the love shared between Grace Kelly and Prince Rainnier III: "I don't think I've ever seen two people who looked more in love.

| Cartoonist ''Wally'' Remembers (Click Magazine, 1938) If there was any mascot who best represented the staff of the old Stars and Stripes, it would have been their primary cartoonist (even though he was a Marine), Abian Wallgren (1892 - 1948) - who went by the name, "Wally".
