Us-amerikanische Analysen der politischen Landschaft, der Geschichte sind meist von bescheidener Qualität. Der Kanadier Charlie Angus zeigt wie's geht: Klug beschreibt er anhand römischer Herrscher wie Nero das Prinzip (das auch Hitler auf allen Ebenen einsetzte), wie man seine Umgebung, seine Alliierten zu Mitschuldigen macht, um sie umso stärker an sich zu binden und Nibelungentreue in seiner Gefolgschaft auszubilden.

Blaming the Neighbours: what Europe called Syphilis"When syphilis swept Europe after the 1495 Naples outbreak, no nation would own it — each named the disease after a neighbour or enemy.

No house. No job. No checkbook. Two half-empty suitcases, 1,500 papers, 511 collaborators, and a 4:30 a.m. greeting of "Let n be an integer."
