While Clinton will have warm words for the saints, earlier this year business leaders were hearing something else from Secretary of Labor Robert Reich. Until the other Bob, Treasury Secretary Rubin, maneuvered him aside, Reich was an advocate of using the tax code to reward corporations that avoid layoffs by retraining workers, among other things.

First of all, his emerging thesis is that the occasional lapses of the Third Reich can be blamed on Goebbels rather than on Hitler. "Hitler doesn't want to hurt anybody," Irving quotes Goebbels as writing. Maybe he wrote this, but why should anyone, starting with Irving, believe...
