...steady output of memoirs, literary reflections and new collections of his old photographs. And in 1976 came the long-delayed The Secret Paris of the 30's, a collection of photographs taken largely in the 1930s but never published before. A glimpse of the mostly unseen side of prewar Paris--brothels, gay bars, drag balls--it gave his reputation just the right twist for a postwar generation captivated by sex. What Norman Rockwell was to official virtue, Brassai was to deadpan indecency, fat sexpots and crazy love...

...prewar years there was no intelligent management at Ford. When I arrived at the end of the war, the company was a monolithic dictatorship. Its balance sheet was still being kept on the back of an envelope, and the guys in purchasing had to weigh the invoices to count them. College kids, managers, anyone with book learning was viewed with some kind of suspicion. Ford had done so many screwy things--from terrorizing his own lieutenants to canonizing Adolf Hitler--that the company's image was as low as it could...

...failed. By espousing anti-Nazi policies in his wilderness years between 1933 and 1939, he ensured that when the moment of final confrontation between Britain and Hitler came in 1940, he stood out as the one man in whom the nation could place its trust.

COLUMBUS: This was supposed to be just a prewar formality for the poll-sensitive Clinton administration: an interactive town hall meeting in Ohio intended to sell the nation -- and the world -- on military action against Iraq. But the President's three foreign-policy salesmen nearly got the door slammed in their faces. Madeleine Albright's opening statement was interrupted by chants of "One, two, three, four, we don't want your racist war!" from a handful of protesters. Bill Cohen and Sandy Berger both got a scream or two of "Murderer!" One man angrily denounced the entire forum...
