Author's Notes/Comments: 

When a freshman history major, I was often appalled to read, in our library's copies of news magazines from the twenties and early thirties, actual praises of Lenin, Mussolini, and even . . . yes, it boggles the mind . . . Adolf Hitler.  The news of their atrocities was slower, more horrible, than train schedules, industrial expansion, and land redistribution.
