After the World War I defeat and the Versailles Treaty, which sought to impose "war guilt" on the vanquished, Germany developed, in the words of one historian, "an overwhelming sense of communal shame"-not for causing the war, but for the old Spartan sin of losing it. Delayed nationhood, humiliation, plus economic chaos and the example of Communist methods from which the Nazis borrowed much-each is essential but none is sufficient to explain Nazism. It could not have happened but for two additional qualities that in the past at least have always seemed to be part of the German...
Nearly as remarkable as Tarsis' courage is the fact that the author apparently has gone unpunished for his latest literary sin; at last report, he was living with his wife and daughter in a Moscow flat-and continuing to write.

It was the first time he had been allowed outside the Soviet Union since 1963, when he roamed through France...

It should be evident that in such a situation no side can be all right or all wrong. The problem is too complex and confusing to allow such a simplistic view...
...interesting for the appearance of Actor Parks, cast as Adam in John Huston's forthcoming The Bible. As Bus Riley, Parks will inevitably be compared to James Dean and Marlon Brando, but that need not discourage him. His own assurance, intensity, and hair-trigger temperament make even unoriginal sin worth watching...
