...Philosopher Martin Heidegger. The volume, Heidegger and Nazism, was written by Chilean Scholar Victor Farias and published in France after two West German houses rejected the manuscript. Although scholars have long known about Heidegger's early flirtation with National Socialism, he was generally thought to have become disenchanted with Hitler well before the outbreak of World War II. With new documentation, Farias charges that Heidegger, who died in 1976, was a lifelong anti-Semite and a devoted, dues-paying party member until the end of the war. Farias also notes that Heidegger went out of his way to praise Hitler...
...powerful nation in Europe, and rivalled the United States and Russia in economic and military resources. Germany's downfall resulted not from economic decline, but from the foolishness of Wilhelm II's Weltpolitik, and provoking America into entering the war. Despite defeat in World War I, Germany still reigned.

Clark Reid Martell, 28, of the Chicago Area Skin Heads, is a longtime racist recycled as a skinhead. He describes himself as a "born-again Nazi" converted by reading Hitler's Mein Kampf.

Like The Dark Knight Returns, Maus (Pantheon; 159 pages; $8.95) came out in 1986. Warner has 80,000 copies of Knight in print. Pantheon reports that Maus, after eight printings totaling more than 100,000 copies, still sells an average of 1,000 a week. Spiegelman's tale is a hellish metaphor...
Last week a 9-in. by 15-in. watercolor of old Vienna signed "A. Hitler" was auctioned for $36,000 in Louisville, but not before some two dozen people turned out to demonstrate against the sale. "The only reason the painting has value is because of his name, and his name was made as a mass murderer," said Protest Organizer J. Mary Sorrell...
