...McCartney be doing at 50? Touring the Catskills with Wings, maybe making guest appearances at Grossinger's. How will the generation of rockers that entered the field in the mid-sixties meet the twentieth anniversary of their debuts? Nature has solved the problem for many of them in a swift and clean way, of course, but for those who remain alive, existential crises are on the way. If these albums any indication, it will be a long, painfully extended death-rattle for rock and roll, as some artists clutch their ebbing money-making potential, others sell out, and an occasional...
Even to the few Iranians who have spent time in his company, Khomeini remains an enigma. He is known as a "practicing mystic." His detachment, some feel, may explain how he is able to order or tolerate the abrupt trials and swift executions of so many people who have, in his words, "done Satan's work."

Had IBM and Merck replaced Chrysler...
Their infatuation was short-lived. Maass details the lightning arrests-76,000 political undesirables jailed even before Hitler entered Vienna. He charts the merciless Aryanization of businesses and the swift disappearance of Jews from public life. He records the beginnings of a resistance that would grow through the war: 13 young Austrians refusing to take an oath of allegiance to Hitler; Socialist Otto Haas, building his network of anti-Nazi information; Father Roman Karl Scholz founding his Austrian Freedom Movement. All were caught and executed...
