...declined to take a position, and 1,189 called him unfit-the latter in no uncertain terms. Some of their opinions: "emotionally unstable," "immature," "cowardly," "grossly psychotic," "paranoid," "mass murderer," "amoral and immoral," "chronic schizophrenic" and "dangerous lunatic." One psychiatrist even felt that a proposed Goldwater visit to Hitler's Berchtesgaden "is enough to convince me of his strong identification with the authoritarianism of Hitler, if not identification with Hitler himself...
...York (Nelson Rockefeller unseated him in 1958), ambassador to Moscow during the war and to the Court of St. James's afterward. Of the major World War II conferences, he missed only Quebec in 1944, where F.D.R. and Churchill agreed to press the war against Japan after Hitler's defeat...
Loss of Image. As Kiesinger realizes, the rise of the rightists, who have in the past 18 months won 60 seats in state parliaments, has already done serious harm to West Germany.

In 1936, Adolf Hitler tried to make them a showcase for Aryan supremacy, and might have succeeded but for the herculean efforts of a U.S. Negro named Jesse Owens. The 1956 Summer Games were marred by bitter East-West disputes, denunciations and defections-understandably enough, since they were staged soon after the Hungarian revolt and the Suez crisis. And last February's Winter Olympics at Grenoble produced their quota of incidents: the angry withdrawal of North Korea-because it insisted...
