...left me often, flirting with other women, leaving each one of them in turn for another at the succeeding dinner party. I had to take care of the spurned one, who came to me shamelessly complaining about Paulus' faithlessness, which amused me ... [Paulus] had a studio away from our ground-floor apartment, on the third floor under the roof. One evening he called the maid, a very attractive brunette, to bring some wine. Later, I found them standing before my bedroom in the middle of the night, talking in dark tones, she in a kimono of mine that...
...rubble grew so high that German tanks were unable to roll over it. Through it all, Hitler insisted that his generals stand firm, refusing to allow them to try to break out of the trap and save part of their army. Against his orders, Field Marshal Friedrich von Paulus surrendered, and on Feb. 2 the last pockets of resistance collapsed.

Across Wisconsin Avenue, the lights were out and the Venetian blinds lowered to a uniform level...
...Dead. Paulus Johannes Tillich's long life on that embattled border shaped his thought. He grew up in that far-off 19th century world where stability and security were taken as a matter of course. His father was a stern Lutheran minister in a small town in northern Germany called Schonfliess; his mother had been a schoolteacher from the gemutlich Rhineland. Little Paul, who later remembered encountering the conception of the Infinite at the age of eight, decided at 16 that philosophy was his field and the Evangelical Lutheran ministry was the gateway...
