...ghastly images in newspapers and on television screens last week also conjured up another discomfiting memory: the world sitting by, eager for peace at any price, as Adolf Hitler marched into Austria, carved up Czechoslovakia. ! For months, leaders in Europe and the U.S. have been wringing their hands over the human tragedy in the Balkans, yet have shied away from facing the hard choices that any effort to stop the killing would entail. Clearly, there is no simple solution, diplomatic or military. Economic sanctions, mediation and U.N. peacekeepers have been tried without stopping the fighting. No case for armed intervention...
Harlan does an excellent job of portraying Truscott as a sort of lunatic master of ceremonies, the most thoroughly ruthless character in Orton's thoroughly ruthless world. Harlan's intense Truscott, at once menacing and ridiculous, is an appropriate blend of Sherlock Holmes, a Keystone Kop and Adolf Hitler. His quick-paced style works especially well in some of the play's wittiest exchanges, such as when members of the household find Truscott snooping through their belongings...
LONDON'S SUNDAY TIMES, APPARENTLY UNFAZED BY ITS EMbarrassment over publishing what proved to be faked "diaries" of Adolf Hitler nine years ago, seems to be courting trouble again. The paper is publishing what it bills as new segments from the diaries of Hitler's propaganda chief, JOSEPH GOEBBELS. (His description of Kristallnacht: "The sky is blood red.

Another who attended was Adolf Eichmann. The meeting dealt with a concept March has never heard mentioned: "the final solution of * the Jewish question" and the planning of death camps. In shock he takes the papers and, with the Gestapo close behind, commandeers a car in a desperate run to the Swiss border...
When outsiders are nearby, Robb is careful to avoid the word nigger, though he admits to an occasional lapse. He avoids directly denigrating blacks and other races, and he shies from embracing white-power hero Adolf Hitler. He stresses that the Klan, or at least his branch of it, does not advocate violence. "We're not night riders running around beating people up," he says, "but we're setting our sights on governmental power." Robb thinks the future of the Klan lies in politics, and to prove it, he is running for the Arkansas legislature. In speeches, he blames...
