...governments gave way to dictatorships in neighboring countries, the Czechoslovaks retained a parliamentary government, pursued moderate policies and enjoyed relative economic stability. Ethnically, however, the nation was a melange of peoples?the dominant Czechs, restive Slovaks and some 3,000,000 Germans who wanted to be united with the Reich...
...April 30, 1945, and Berlin, the capital of Adolf Hitler's tottering Third Reich, was a shattered, flaming inferno. Tanks and troops of Soviet General Vasily Chuikov's Eighth Guards army had fought to within a few blocks of the Reich Chancellery. The end was clearly at hand. Some time after lunch that day, Hitler and his wife of one day, Eva Braun, retired to their suite in the Führer's underground bunker to take their lives.

Except for his height (a tiny 4 ft. 9 in.), Dartmouth's Robert Reich could easily be taken for the classic Big Man On Campus. From a Republican family in New York's affluent Westchester County, he racked up a succession of A's in college, won a Rhodes scholarship, wrote and starred in campus plays, headed the student government.

About 70 per cent of the protein made by this gland is one enzyme, "cocoonaise." The rest...
...offered a grim reminder, for Rise and Fall displayed the sins of the Third Reich with chilling clarity. Drawing upon 2,000,000 feet of old German newsreels and propaganda movies, and newly filmed interviews with some of Hitler's former cronies, Rise and Fall recreated the era in indelible detail. Who could turn away as the cunning on Hitler's face changed to frenzy while he ranted before a monster rally? Who could miss the dedication of his followers as they cleared Germany's streets of Hitler's political and ideological enemies, or as they...
