...Payne's book has any special value, it is as a sort of two-inch shelf of Hitleriana, including slightly disproportionate swatches of material from August Kubizek, Hitler's youthful friend in Linz, the usual excerpts from Mein Kampf, and a selection of good illustrations, among them some of the drawings done by Adolf the failed artist. Life and Death is overburdened with amateur psychoanalysis-especially vulnerable from a writer who sometimes seems not to have read the important wartime Office of Strategic Services report, part of which was published as The Mind of Adolf Hitler...
...Sudan, Cleo A. Noel Jr., and the outgoing charge d'affaires, George C. Moore, as well as a Belgian diplomat were murdered by Arab terrorists (see WORLD). Noel thus became the second U.S. ambassador to be killed by terrorists in less than five years. In 1968, John Gordon Mein was slain in Guatemala while trying to escape from kidnapers...
...Monosodium glutamate, a commonly used flavor enhancer, has been linked with the chest pains and headaches of the so-called Chinese restaurant syndrome. But chow mein is not the only dish that may trigger "dietary migraine." Dr. Neil Raskin and William Henderson of the University of California at San Francisco report in Lancet that sodium nitrite, a preservative mixed into some hot dogs, sausages and cured meats, can cause "hotdog headaches." The pair base their findings on the study of a 58-year-old man with a seven-year history of painful, nonthrobbing headaches whenever he ate frankfurters, bacon, salami...
Langer, who is now retired and living in Florida, tapped three major sources: he conducted exhaustive interviews with people who had known Hitler; he used "The Hitler sourcebook" (1,100 pages of biographical data compiled by three analytically trained assistants); and he carefully studied Mein Kampf. His conclusion: Hitler was "probably a neurotic psychopath bordering on schizophrenia," or, in simpler terms, the Fuhrer was not insane but was emotionally sick and lacked normal inhibitions against antisocial behavior. A desperately unhappy man, he was beset by fears, doubts, loneliness and guilt, and spent his whole life in an unsuccessful attempt...
...shock to be reminded that until someone suggested Mein Kampf as a title, Adolf Hitler wanted to call his book Four and a Half Years of Struggle Against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice. Everybody needs an editor. Besides, the FÜhrer was that kind of fellow. But T.S. Eliot! Could that austere poet's most celebrated work actually have sprung from sweaty sessions with pencil stubs and mutual gropings after the mot juste! It has always been painful to imagine, even though for 50 or so years Ezra Pound has been acknowledged as much more than The Waste Land...
