...eyed cupids that support the baroque ceiling of the Quai d'Orsay's famed Clock Room have seen some sights in their time. In 1928, they looked down as diplomats, in high hope of a better world, signed the Kellogg peace pact, forever outlawing war.

"The Purge, like the Communist-Nazi pact later on, was the true measure of Stalin as a revolutionary statesman. That was the horror of the Purge-that acting as a Communist, Stalin had acted rightly. In that fact lay the evidence that Communism is absolutely evil . . . The more truly a man acted in its spirit and interest, the more certainly he perpetuated evil . . . I said: 'This is evil, absolute evil. Of this evil I am a part.' . . . The structure...
