Revelations that Rose would gamble on any game, in any sport, at any time -- and seven volumes of evidence, including a stack of betting slips in his handwriting -- did not seem to shame him. Little ever has. Not a 1979 paternity suit that he did not contest, the messy unraveling of his marriage in 1978 (which did not interfere with his 44-game hitting streak), or striking an umpire in the chest, for which he received a 30-day suspension in 1988.

"The Nazi terror in the early years affected the lives of relatively few Germans," recalled William Shirer, author of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, who went to report on Germany in 1934, "and a newly arrived observer was somewhat surprised to see that the people of this country did not seem to feel that they were being cowed and held down by an unscrupulous and brutal dictatorship. On the contrary, they supported it with genuine enthusiasm. Somehow it imbued them with...
