Speaking of Nixionian anti-Semitism, over at the Guardian Maev Kennedy reports that documents released today from Britain's National Archives suggest that our worst president took pity on imprisoned Nazi and amateur pilot Rudolf Hess:
In 1974 Richard Nixon, the US president, was ready to support the release on humanitarian grounds of prisoner number 7, but his efforts were thwarted by unwavering Soviet opposition. So Rudolf Hess, Hitler's former deputy, dubbed "the loneliest man in the world" as sole occupant of Spandau prison, remained locked up, according to secret documents released today by the National Archives at Kew.
In his defense, perhaps Nixon was referring not to the Deputy Reichsfuehrer Rudolf Hess, but his patsy body double.
