Nonetheless, Lindbergh never recanted his isolationist position. While he was never an anti-Semite or a fascist, as some charged at the time, he remained appallingly insensitive to the true evils of the Hitler regime. "His self-confidence thickened into arrogance," said English Writer Harold Nicolson, an old friend. "His mind had been sharpened by fame and tragedy until it had become as hard, as metallic and as narrow as a chisel...
...disappointed, but not surprised, at the reactions of various veterans' groups to President Ford's consideration of amnesty to draft evaders. We were outraged when the Germans did nothing to show their disapproval of Hitler's action against the Jews. And yet, when people of conscience refuse to participate in what they feel is a morally equivalent action, we condemn them...
Died. Otto Strasser, 76, onetime intimate turned archenemy of Adolf Hitler; of a heart attack; in Munich. An early ally of the rising Führer, Strasser preached Nazism with a socialist tinge and became disgusted by Hitler's later romance with big business.

Thereafter, fear, a weakness for overstatement and the twists of history took over...
...against possible demonstrations. When the call went unheeded, the appeal was twice renewed, eventually bringing 30 to 40 policemen to the three-story embassy and ambassador's residence. Shortly after noon, the demonstrators, variously estimated at from 300 to 600, arrived, carrying placards and banners that read KISSINGER-HITLER and NATO-MURDERERS OF CYPRUS. They threw rocks at the building and, climbing over the eight-foot spiked iron fence surrounding it, tore down and burned the Stars and Stripes. They then set ten cars afire in the embassy parking lot and in the street outside...
