...times and better people, he writes a graffiti testament in rooms once occupied by the likes of Isadora Duncan and Somerset Maugham. He has barely finished when someone stabs him. The body and the writing are found by American soldiers, liberators of the death camps. Captain Freyberg, a fanatical Nazi-hunter who ironically places the Dachau gate sign, ARBEIT MACHT FREI (Work shall set you free), over his desk, checks off Mauberley as one more fascist corpse. Lieut. Quinn is not so sure. He begins to examine the handwriting on the wall...
...tear ends and the mend begins. The duke, for instance, did visit Germany in 1937, where he took tea with Field Marshal Goring and was photographed with Hitler. And he did lounge in neutral Portugal, as if to wait out the hostilities, until Winston Churchill learned of a Nazi kidnap plot and ordered British troops to provide an escort to the Bahamas. But the additional malice is pure Findley: British commandos raid the duke's quarters, only to find the royal presence crashing through a mirror, trying to hide inside his own image...
...never let up for a minute. It was America that brought on all this trouble. It was America that gave help to the Nazi Begin. America the warmonger . . . while the peaceful P.L.O. sought only to regain the land that was rightfully theirs, and so forth. He was a first-class haranguer, the colonel.

In at all too typical example, the Village Voice compared Israel's invasion of Lebanon to the Nazi advances in Eastern Europe at the start of World War II. Such analogies are dead wrong and repugnant. The terrible waste of life and destruction notwithstanding, justification for the fight undertaken by Israel can be easily found...
...more than enough about what Hollywood stars are actually like. The Secret Life of Tyrone Power depicts that virile swashbuckler as bisexual. In The Untold Story, Charles Higham tries to make a case that Errol Flynn was also sexually ambivalent-and argues, not quite convincingly, that Flynn was a Nazi agent of some sort. In This Life, Sidney Poitier confesses to catching an adolescent case of gonorrhea, and in Please Don't Shoot My Dog, Jackie Cooper claims to have been the teen-age lover of Joan Crawford. Some of this brings back memories of Hedy Lamarr...
