...aging Emil Nolde became the only major German expressionist to join the Nazi Party. Much good it did him. For all his Frisian peasant conservatism, the Nazis soon called him a "degenerate" modern artist and stripped his works from German museums. In 1941, he was forbidden to sell his art or even to paint. At 73, Nolde retreated from Berlin to his summer home in Seebull, not far from his birthplace on the North Sea coast-but he did not stop painting. To his diary he revealed: "I still hold my head high, and only to you, my little pictures...
...nixed of kin: a husband (Jonathan Winters), dead for a decade, who hangs taxidermically immortalized on a coat hook in her clothes closet, and a son (Robert Morse), arguably alive, who at 25 still sucks his thumb and sleeps in a set of Dr. Denton drop-seat pajamas.

Also forbidden: holding a meeting, singing, dancing or playing a musical instrument, and changing into a bathing suit in a station rest room. The rules may be ticklers but they are no joke: violators face $25 fines and ten days in jail...
...wanted to experiment and eventually became hooked themselves. What broke down was not so much the system as the principle of permissiveness itself. The new offbeat generation, helped-so the British say -by an influx of a hundred or more junkies from the U.S. and Canada, exhibited a forbidden-fruit syndrome. Addicts and their experimenting friends found that they got more of a kick from illegally acquired fixes than from prescription pills. They even complained that stuff smuggled in was more potent than the domestic supply, whereas the opposite was true...
