<<Actually, the application of Hitler's eugenics standards to a picture
of Hitler by an opposition news editor resulted in Hitler being judged
to be of Mongoloid/Tatar stock, which is far down the scale in Nazi
eugenics theory, near the bottom, only slightly above Gypsies and Jews.
Of course, that news editor was arrested and executed, treated
physically much like the authors of The Bell Curve were treated
figuratively by the left.>>

There is a book out a few years ago called Explaining Hitler, where the
journalist who sampled several historical theories, finally selected on the
fellow you mention, though I don't remember his name :-( The fellow was
apparently very good at attacking the national socialists and getting under
their skin. Very dynamic, in the face of a Bavarian pubication in the 1920's
and early 1930's. One of the papers' features was: "Is this a German Nose?"
showing a pic of adolph. The author deemed the fuhrer's schnozze was perhaps
a Slavic sniffer at best; throwing the racial idolatry back at national
socialists.

The nice thing about genetic technology is the wild notion that mayhaps an
extra layer of brain tissue can someday be lab grown, and inserted inside
one's skull, thus making people smarter. Though, if one wanted this reality
to occur, I still bet 'puters' may do the job better, cheaper, faster then
genetic tech. Plug-in...Turn-On....Tune-in...voob...voob...voob.....ah its
all so damn easy..why didn't I notice it before.. ;-)
