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...
...companies have been as persistent in cracking a case of industrial espionage as Rohm & Haas, a Philadelphia chemical manufacturer. It hired a private-detective agency and spent nearly five years tracking down the theft of a secret formula used to make latex paints. The search led to Australia, where Rohm & Haas found a firm that was duplicating its product "molecule for molecule," and then back to the U.S., where a former employee was finally detained last May after a high-speed, wrong-way car chase on a Manhattan parkway.

...used to shoot President Reagan are in Sontheim, West Germany. A picturesque town built along a tributary of the Danube, Sontheim is the home of Rōhm GmbH, a 74-year-old firm that makes drilling equipment and cheap handgun parts. West Germans have little use for Rohm weapons. The country's gun ownership laws are strict, and the relatively few people who do qualify to possess handguns tend to choose Gun Seller Goldstein better-made and more expensive models. Thus, most Rohm gun parts-perhaps $1 million worth a year, although company officials refuse to be exact...
...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...
