7. I read "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" as a young person. They're playing it back.

Stalin's doings didn't get my attention as much until a bunch after the Army-McCarthy days. (1954, so I was too young) when the "commie menace" was still a big thing, Hitler having done the one good thing in his life: He killed Hitler. And IIRC, I was reading "A Study of History" at the time. (the "small" version)

And what was there to read that wasn't propaganda anyway?

High school and college kept me busy with science and math, but ... it was the late 60's.

One eye on Maxwell's and Kepler's laws and the other on the draft.
