{Pictures published in London papers reveal that Hitler has chan astonishingly for the worse. He grown fat, almost bloated, with a double chin... His hair appears ragged, tousled, and untidy. The a are also contracted and the pouches under them are swollen .. ."--Cable news item.] UTHORITIES unnamed have noted 4 That’ Hitler's growing ‘"‘almost bloated’’; New Photographs, they tell us, show A Tytant ripe for OverthrowThe Swollen Cheek, the sunken Eye, The famous Forelock all awry, Unhealthy Fat, and All the Rest, Prociaim that he is past his Best; No Man of Steel, but mortal Clay And therefore subject to Decay. The Fuehrer must be wearing out Because (they say) he’s getting stout. Afflicted by a Double Chin, What Chance (they ask) has he to win? But, in the Name of Commonseénse, How did we get this Evidence? I should have thought it would be hard To catch the Fuehrer off his Guard; If Somebody was so astute, Why should he be content to shoot With Camera, where Anyone With any Sense would use a Gun? And why imagine that Disease Will carry off our Enemies? If Fate or Fat assures their Fall, Why should we go to War at all?
