You have the temerity to post this kind of Nazi apologist garbage in a comments thread of an article by a writer whose gentile grandparents had been murdered in a concentration camp and whose gentile mother spent two years in a labor-extermination camp, was a state witness in the post-war trial of its commandant, and relayed her wartime experiences to this writer directly. Moreover, a writer who was born and grew up one hour by car from Auschwitz and three kilometers from the plant where the firm Hoch und Tiefbau AG had built the crematoria for that camp. In which, alone, million people were murdered, 6 million of them Jews. And that 8767 s according to the testimony its commandant Rudolf Hoess, based on data from SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann.

The strong hands held on to her. Marianne kept her eyes on the floor. Dark. She could only see her own feet shuffling, barely lifting. She tried to look up, saw the bathroom door not far ahead, wondered if she'd ever get there. She did.
Average Is Over: Powering America Beyond the Age of the Great Stagnation by Tyler Cowen In terms of business/economics, this is one of the more important books I've read in a long time. I even keep a framed passage from it on my wall (it also inspired the a piece of writing I am proud of). Cowen's books have always been thought provoking, but this one changes how you see the future and help explain real pain points in our new economy-both good and bad. Although much of what Cowen proposes will be uncomfortable, he has a tone that borders on cheerful. I think that's what makes this so convincing and so eye opening. A hollowing out is coming and you've got to prepare yourself (and our institutions) as best you can.

By the end of the conflict, Crouchback knows better. The war as he experiences it is a muddled nightmare of incompetence, self-seeking, and the systematic betrayal of ideals, and postwar Britain does not look to be much better. Doleful as all this may sound, it x7569 s not. The story is told by a master stylist who is here at the top of his form. With good reason, many consider it Waugh x7569 s finest work.
