His Weakness Was His Belief That Evil

Hitler Was Such An Anomalous Character - He Was So Over-the-top Chaotic In His Approach To Statesmanship, His Manner And In The Violence Which Overwhelmed The Country Initially. I Think Diplomats Around The World... Felt Like Something Like That Simply Would Not Be Tolerated By The People Of Germany.

Place Has Always Been Important To Me, And One Thing Today's Chicago Exudes, As It Did In 1893, Is A Sense Of Place. I Fell In Love With The City, The People I Encountered, And Above All The Lake And Its Moods, Which Shift So Readily From Season To Season, Day To Day, Even Hour To Hour.

I Must Confess A Shameful Secret: I Love Chicago Best In The Cold.

There's Something So Relentless And Foul About Hitler And His People, And The Way Things Progressed From Year To Year. It Just Got To Me In The Strangest Way.

Reading Is Such A Personal Thing To Me. I'd Much Rather Give Someone A Gift Certificate To A Bookstore, And Let That Person Choose His Or Her Own Books.
