...news on the Big Board did not mean that the U.S. economy was in bad trouble. But it did highlight a dilemma for the economy and the Kennedy Administration. As a keystone of his Administration, President Kennedy promised to do two things: increase economic growth and check inflation.

All the frenetic posturing of Fascism led to Mussolini's last desperate apathy-almost torpor-and his meat-shop death. Mussolini's articulate explorations of his own dilemma give an awful fascination to Hibbert's history. In the end, it makes it possible to pity the Fascist dictator in a way that no one has ever pitied Hitler...
