If the diaries are authentic, their provenance has been tainted by Stern's mishandling of their verification. Asked to believe the all but impossible and denied the opportunity for proof, academics and most of the press rightly balked. Trevor-Roper summed up, more in sorrow than in anger: "As a historian, I regret that...
