...assertion of faith, that the Chinese Communists own parochial example of rural-based revolution is the model for the rest of the underdeveloped world to emulate. It was put out mainly as compensation for China's recent defeats in many parts of the globe. To compare it to Hitler's Mein Kampf would be quite misleading. Rule by virtue required that the rulers proclaim their true teaching, claiming that it will still win the world even if they themselves are too weak to support it in practice...
...MEMOIRS OF FIELD-MARSHAL KEITEL, Chief of the German High Command, 1938-1945, edited by Walter Gorlitz. Completed just before the author was hanged as a war criminal, this memoir by Hitler's top military man gives a fascinating account of the last days of the Wehrmacht as well as a chilling insight into the moral myopia that afflicted the Nazi high command...

When the New York City Opera got going, so did Rudel, then 22. He was everything from rehearsal pianist to curtain puller to stand-in for ailing members of the chorus. In 1957, after a clash between the opera board and Erich Leinsdorf (who followed Halasz and Joseph Rosenstock) left the company without a conductor, Rudel was appointed director. The decision was made, says one board member, partly...
