This song hit big after it was released in May 1939 and became Glenn Miller’s signature song.

Moonlight Serenade

Final Soviet-British-French pact talks update at reply #2.

I remember well my platter of the dreamy "Moonlight Serenade". On the flip side of the record was "Sunrise Serenade", as purty a tune as ever was written, also.

Voroshilov’s reply to Drax reminds me of the ending of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”:

“You’re still here? It’s over! Go home!”

New Republic and The Nation castigating Stalin for his “Munich?” Apparently they haven’t been given the change of tune yet from their masters in Moscow. Time to be recalled for some “refresher training.” I’d like to see how they spin the partition of Eastern Europe in the next several months.

Speaking of the partition of Eastern Europe, the “Secret Protocol” may still be secret, but it appears everyone assumes it exists based on the Times article. And indeed it does.

To my knowledge, the Secret Protocol remained secret until Weiszacker’s testimony at Nuremburg. During examination on the Non-Aggression Pact, he mentioned the Secret Protocol, at which time the Soviet Prosecutor, who knew of it, went ballistic and objected to the testimony. He was overruled by the British Lord Justice, and much to the embarrassment of the Soviets, it became known. Having the Soviets participate at Nuremburg was necessary in light of the wartime alliance and the suffering of their people, but it was a bit much of “pot and kettle.”
