But unlike the polished Frederick, Führer Hitler, whose reading has always been very limited, invites few great minds to visit him, nor would Führer Hitler agree with Frederick's contention that he was "tired of ruling over slaves...
...lecturer on human behavior, has been a steady broadcaster since 1926. His radio salary of $2,000 a week is augmented by lectures, sales of his books and pamphlets.

Greville had several love affairs and one illegitimate child, but compared with Pepys, Bachelor Greville was a veritable monk. It is easy to see why his love affairs were few and brief. After keeping a beautiful, well-mannered mistress at Lord Wharncliffe's villa for seven weeks ("Henry de Roos, who is the grand purveyor of women to all his friends, gave her to me"), 35-year-old Greville bitterly philosophizes that on account of her he has read no more than a dozen heavy volumes, doubts "if ever I shall take one to live with me again...
