...argued for French colonialism as ardently as he did for reviving the Olympics, admired the relationship between British colonialism and sports in the public schools. Every Etonian knows how Wellington is supposed to have explained Waterloo. Hitler, who had a way with brass tacks, said bluntly in Mein Kampf: Give me an athlete and I'll give you an army -which he did, to Austria, two years after the success of the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Of course, "war minus the shooting" may be a way of justifying the Games, but that is something quite different from stating that...

Although Schoenberg and other Jewish colleagues were ostracized, although his own music was denounced by the Nazis as ''cultural Bolshevism,''Webern stuck it out in Austria, transfixed by the ideal of a triumphant German culture.

Among the items for sale was a two-volume set of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf, inscribed by the author. The price for this piece of the true Hakenkreuz...
...Thompson is only the half of it. The complete Carter conspiracy, the Mein Kampf of 1976, comes clear in [MORE]'s interview with R.W. Apple Jr., The New York Times' national political correspondent. Apple filed the first "Carter is a serious candidate" story from Iowa in October 1975. Apple explains that he went to Iowa to see who was moving, who was organizing, and all his contacts from past campaigns kept saying "Carter, Carter, Carter...it was enough of a man-bites-dog story that (the Times) played it on page one." Pass the Windex, you say? Sure. All Carter...
