...George Lincoln Rockwell [Sept. 1] was not a common hatemonger or backwoods bigot. He was the embodiment of forensic eloquence and razor-sharp intelligence, both of which had been honed to a hair-thin cutting edge. His physical stature emitted strength as well as fear. The real tragedy of Commander Rockwell's demise is that such quality and potential leadership were befouled by a twisted alignment with a vociferous band of homicidal psychopaths and miscellaneous social rejects.

The next morning they discover that somehow they cannot leave the room. Days go by. Their amusement becomes annoyance, then terror. Like miners entombed in a cave-in, they first cry out, then slowly sink...
Halle maintains that the primary motive in Russia's expansion to the West was not the desire to make the whole world Communist, but to ease a traditional fear of national destruction-justified by ten centuries of invasion by forces as disparate as Vikings and Mongols. The history of the cold war is one in which Russian paranoia faded as American resolve grew firmer...
