During his months behind bars, Hitler dictated Mein Kampf, the Nazi bible. The terrible arithmetic of the war and the Holocaust was prefigured on every page. Propaganda: "The German . . . people must be misled, if the support of the masses is required." Morality: "Success is the sole earthly judge of right and wrong." Tactics: "The one means that wins the easiest victory over reason: terror and force." Genetics: "All who are not of good race in this world are chaff...
...gather to praise the forgettable comedy. Some movies can be faulted for nothing but low ambition. They aim not for the Academy Award. They disdain the zillion-dollar gross.

...write out "TIME!!!" in inch-high scrawl--it only brings out the sadist in us. Don't (Cliffies) write offers to come over and read aloud to us your illegible remarks--we can (officially) read anything, and we may be married. Write on both sides of the page--single-blue-book finals look like less work to grade, and win points. This chic, shaded calligraphic script so many are affecting lately is handsome, and is probably worth a good five extra points if you can hack...
