A desire to create some sympathy for the entire Nazi movement and to humanize Hitler seemed likely aims too. But the sad saga of the truly incredible diaries raised troubling questions about how such an implausible scheme had been taken so seriously, however briefly.

As Commissioner Gordon wraps up its set, the hockey crowd has, for the most part, left to go to other post-game parties. However, we trudge onwards oblivious to the last break...
