...gave him a look of bewilderment and he winked. He took a few long puffs on his pipe and told Liddy that the plan he had developed was not quite what he had in mind and the cost [$1,000,000] was out of the question." Dean arrived late for the second meeting, discovered Liddy was still discussing illegal wiretapping plans, objected that "these discussions could not go on in the office of the Attorney General," and cut the meeting short; "terminated" it, to use Dean's invariable terminology...

He spent the last quarter-century of his life in bittersweet retirement, first with his Russian-born wife Raissa in Yonkers, N.Y., and, after her death, with one of his three sons (all are professors of mathematics) in Princeton, N.J.

It has saturated our culture. Our stock image of murderous power is not Stalin quietly chewing a pipe, but Hitler noisily chewing a carpet. The details slip; not so many people nowadays know or care who Baldur von Schirach was or what the Roehm putsch signified. But the broad trajectory of Hitler's career, let alone its grisly climax in the bunker, is still as familiar...
