...word "Mother" and published the letters as if addressed to herself. Schlechta also spotted other frauds with the help of a pack of notebooks that Elisabeth had hidden under attic eaves (Nietzsche had a habit of drafting letters to friends in his notebooks before sending them). The only copies extant of Nietzsche letters saying, "You are the only person I trust absolutely," and "You are such a good friend and helper," were in Elisabeth's own hand; on these she had written that the originals were "later lost" or "burned by our dear mother."

They would have to be conscious of another unpleasantry in human nature, of course, and verify their students' diligence either on the final exam or by other means. Students...
Great Gathering. The Kremlin leaders could not, of course, re-establish Stalinism, for the simple reason that there was no Stalin, or any man his equal extant, and his successors had, for their own safety, partially dismantled the policy system which had concentrated so much power in the old dictator's hands. But collectively they could make Stalinist noises, which could be read as a rebuke to Tito, and might be depended upon to strike fear in the breasts of restless satellite Communist leaders...
