...George McGovern declared: "Except for Adolf Hitler's extermination of the Jewish people, the American bombardment of defenseless peasants in Indochina is the most barbaric act of modern times." Last week he conjured up the Hitler analogy again. He accused President Nixon of being "at least indirectly" responsible for the invasion of the Democratic National Committee offices in Washington by five men last June (see story, page 20). McGovern later added that the incident was "the kind of thing you expect under a person like Hitler...
...Jews in World War II refuses to die. For more than a decade, critics like Rolf Hochhuth (The Deputy), Saul Friedlander (Pius XII and the Third Reich) and Carlo Falconi (The Silence of Pius XII) have speculated on the question: Why did the Pope fail to denounce Hitler and mobilize his invisible legions, as Winston Churchill once called the world's 400 million Catholics, against the Nazi terror?

The war takes him out of France, with its overripe cynicism, to Germany, the northern lands celebrated in Greek mythology as a realm of clear light and cool reason. The fact that Germany is now controlled by such barbarians as Hitler and Goring rounds out the Hyperborean myth by offering an inevitable opposite...
Complex Scenario. Ellsberg even contemplates the possibility that he is a war criminal similar to Albert Speer, the intelligent, cultivated humanist who was Hitler's architect. He recalls attending a seminar on war crimes and thinking "that I was the only person present who was a potential defendant." It is difficult to take this possibility seriously. Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon papers for what he feels is the good of the country; he may also have been trying to rid himself of what he sees as a damned spot. But his view is too schematic and bears the cold stamp...
