...clamor for verification will surely continue until Stern opens the Hitler archive to detailed, patient analysis by scholars. Then, aided by the published record, historians would be able to reach a clearer idea of how much the 62 volumes could contribute to the historical record. If the diaries are authentic, their provenance has been tainted by Stern's mishandling of their verification. Asked to believe the all but impossible and denied the opportunity for proof, academics and most of the press rightly balked. Trevor-Roper summed up, more in sorrow than in anger: "As a historian, I regret that...
Junior Erica Shulman supplied the Crimson with its fourth singles victory, slipping past Emily Schuette in a long contest, 7-5, 6-2 Schulman never trailed, and her patient style ultimately wore down Schuette in the close first stanza.

To Vaillant, the fact that half of all alcoholics...
...that the behavior of the superpowers is determined by "weapons fetishism," a sympton seen in the individual "gun nut." "You could say that weapons fetishism is investing weapons with the power to save, and it's an understandable fetish. The rationale of the neurosis is always overwhelming to the patient who's suffering from it." The arms race "can be regarded as a symbiotic neurosis...(and) unless you can heal both parties to the symbiotic neurosis at the same time, it's almost impossible...
