...race relations. "They are counterproductive and unfair. But it's important for whites not to put too much stock in what he says." Loury says Farrakhan is "the leader of a black fascist sect. His people are disciplined, orderly, militant, reminiscent of the Brownshirts. But they are not Hitler Youth taking over society. He may be a hysterical preacher of hate, but he is not about to take control of anything. He is not about to march into your neighborhood...
...depending on who tells it, but in any case off limits to a Jesuitic fastidiousness against interfering in a sovereign state. This principle of inviolate borders underscores how much the U.N. was shaped by lessons of the 1930s: Mussolini's seizure of Ethiopia, Japan's invasion of China and Hitler's devouring the appetizer of the Sudetenland. As generals tend to fight the last war, so the U.N.'s founders undertook to preserve the last peace...
WHAT DID HE KNOW, AND WHEN did he know it? Questions about Albert Speer's awareness of the Holocaust haunted Adolf Hitler's wartime Armaments Minister (and favorite architect) until his death at 76 in 1981. At the 1945-46 war-crimes trial of Nazi leaders in Nuremberg, Speer was sentenced to 20 years in Berlin's Spandau prison for his complicity in Hitler's atrocities.

To many skeptics, his protestations at Nuremberg and in his best-selling memoirs (Inside the Third Reich, The Secret Diaries) smack of deep denial and cover...
...then Mondrian's presence was a talisman to the small New York avant-garde. It was the gift of Hitler. Like many of the Surrealists--whose work he cordially detested--Mondrian had fled to refuge in New York in 1940 as the Nazi threat to "degenerate artists" such as himself became inescapably plain. The mere arrival of this diffident and somewhat reclusive man symbolized the passing of modernist leadership from Paris to Manhattan. Yet unlike the Surrealists, he had few American followers, and none who became painters of the first rank. Part of the paradox of Mondrian was that although...
