Hello Lou
I'm very impressed by Option D (redacted by discussant) though I confess I do not understand what the word means. I came across this when reading Harold Bloom's "The Book of J", where one of the biblical authors of the first 4 Biblical books was called 'the redactor'. I once went to the effort of reading the text of Eichmann's interrogation. For people who set such store by racial appearance, the Nazis were a pretty unprepossessing lot. Hitler did have this funny thing about laughing. Some of his most menacing speeches mention it, and he would cover his mouth when he did so. I have even seen a *relatively* attractive photo of him (early in the war, successfully invading Yugoslavia), so clearly I have spent more time than is sensible on this sort of thing. I hesitate to say anything more positive about Eichmann. He can't have been honest during his interrogation. But perhaps 20 years later those enthusiasms had faded and seemed like a distant dream?
