Theos-Talk Archives (February 2005 Message tt00609)

I have a full run of The Theosophist here--at least up to the 1990s, 
after which it became completely devoid of content. There is an article 
by Hodson in the May issue, but it is about Native Americans in Arizona. 
There is no mention of Hitler. Arundale has an article and an 
Editorial. He does mention the political troubles in Europe as "clouds 
of darkness" but no mention of Hitler.
