According to Ryan's report, the Army's use of Barbie began in the confusing aftermath of the war, as American attention shifted from defeating the fascist foe to a more subtle ideological battleground. While the CIA was in the process of being established, the Army was faced with the daunting task of assembling an effective ring of European informants to spy on Germany as well as on the Soviets and the other occupying powers. For help, the Army turned to veterans of Hitler's police and intelligence services, like Barbie, whom the CIC placed...

Menell expresses a similar sentiment, saying "the white government has very smartly and deviously polarized and fragmented the Black political groups in South Africa. There are no credible Black leaders because they've all been killed. The government is no more than a group of fanatical fascist pigs who with a sort of evil genius, realize that if a Black government were to come to power, the whites would have no place in South Africa...

The girl, Beate, is accompanied by a husband as wickedly...

Werther's suicide for the love of Lotte inspired an epidemic of self-immolation in Germany in the 1770s, but history does not repeat itself in Lucio. True, he is in despair-life in Fascist Italy is intolerable and Beate refuses to sleep with him-but he is seeking ways to survive. Beate, on the other hand, wants to "carry despair to its logical conclusion, suicide." Their encounter, Lucio observes, had not been love, but death at first sight. Beate yearns for a suicide pact with Lucio that would be modeled on what she regards as an ideal death...

...visions of Anselm Kiefer, 38. Yet it is better to lack the tragic sense than to fake it. If an artist like Kiefer can uncover the sublimated debris of Nazism, one like Chia can do history as comedy, positing his style on the mannerisms of Italian art in the Fascist period. He has an acutely caricatural sense of conventions and some sophistication about how to create a surface. Neither is fully deployed, however, in his present show...
