...monster, but "the magnified and distorted image of everyman." Everyman? De Rais, whose atrocities many believe to be the inspiration for the Bluebeard legend, became overlord of Anjou at the age of 13, a marshal of France at 26, and he never betrayed a friend. Once, when his loyal soldiers were helping him destroy the evidence by throwing 46 rotting bodies on the flames, Gilles de Rais, in this version of the story, actually sat down and asked himself this question: "Hadn't he lived life too fully...

But all the pomp and ceremony could not add one bit of suspense to the peacenik extravaganza-or respectability to the "verdict." After nine days of canned and Kafkaesque testimony by Russell's loyal witnesses, Tribunal President Jean-Paul Sartre declared that the U.S. had been found guilty of a vast catalogue of "war crimes" in Viet Nam, including "massive, systematic and deliberate" bombing of civilian targets in the North. Thus he and Russell all but assured themselves of a place in sophistory...
