Weimar Germany always intrigued me, because I thought it was  
disturbing that there could be a mass insanity called National  
Socialism, and I wondered if it were at all possible for the US (or  
me in particular) to fall prey to such an insanity. Tucholsky was one  
of the voices in Weimar which made the case against the Nazis about  
as strong and clear as possible... and who convinced me that I could  
have been inoculated against the Nazis. I used to think that the US  
would be immune to a national insanity --- I'm not so sure any more.  
We could use a Tucholsky.
