Initially, Hitler attracted those like himself, unappeased outsiders, misfits, losers. Joseph Goebbels was an unsuccessful novelist and playwright. Julius Streicher was a blackmailer. Ernst Rohm was a sadistic homosexual who advocated violence and murder. Hermann Goring was an air-force veteran without a scruple to his name. "I have no conscience," he liked to declare. "My conscience is Adolf Hitler." But then, Hitler was the conscience of all his cadre. Pan-Germanism was their creed, Adolf their Messiah. When criticized, Hitler would say, "Two thousand years ago, a man was similarly denounced . . . That man was dragged before a court...
Power arrived on Jan. 30, 1933. The unknown at 30 was named Chancellor of Germany at 43. From the beginning the Third Reich was a reflection of its new Fuhrer. Hitler's triumphs should have increased his confidence. Instead they fed his paranoia. Rohm and his followers were purged and murdered. The nation's most original minds were exiled to a concentration-camp universe from which few returned. Military tactics that demanded objectivity were decided for personal reasons.

Explaining the investigation as "perfectly consistent" with the company...

Carter Beese Jr., 26, a Baltimore stockbroker who invested $4,000 in this, his first European vacation, figured that the $440 (plus dinner and drinks) for his Venice-Paris ticket was only $ 180 more expensive than the economy airfare for the journey. Caroline Rohm, a fashion designer from New York who buys fabric in Italy twice a year, predicted that she and Friend Henry Kravis. a Manhattan stockbroker, will "sell 200 seats" with their glowing accounts of the journey...
...Industries, Inc., which is partly controlled by Heinrich and Giinter Rohm of the German firm, employs about 200 people to do that kind of assembly work at a shabby white concrete building in the garment district of northwest Miami. The cheap alloy frame is smoothed with a file and then placed on an assembly line where the barrel and German parts are inserted. Then the metal is tinted a dark blue. RG Industries last year sold 190,000 such weapons, making it the nation's fifth largest handgun producer...
