I spent about eight years studying the era of 1928 - 1946 from the
perspective of German and Nazi politics and the often conflicting
goals of the German army.  (go figure, this time was bounded on
either side by a study of various religions)

Anyway, the drive towards a master race which used historical and
cultural hatred of the Jews as a starting point was Hitler's undying
legacy.  However, I do believe that it was his single minded determination
that did him in.  I am quite thankful that he didn't decide just
to create regional ghettos until the war was over.  If he had opted
to spend more money on research and development and equiping his
armies things may have been different.

Hitler believed that once he showed the world what he was trying to
accomplish, all peoples of Aryian descent (which he considered Britains
to be) would flock to his cause.  He believed in "uprisings from
within" to throw out those he considered undesireable.  There is
a close analogy here, IMHO, to the Republican Party's "family values".
Just as Hitler was surrounded by "true believers" who were often
more fanatical than he, we can see that Bush is surrounded by more
than a few "true believers" of his own.  Also, the republican's
are trying from the top to generate a groundswell of support
against "undesireables".

I think we can safely say that Bush ain't no Hitler, but I am
not altogether certain about Danny-boy.

> 
>Okay -- tell us about Coral Castle.  We love gossip disguised as news...

Coral Castle was built in the early part of this century by a very eccentric
Lithuanian man (sorry, I forget his name).  It seems he was set to marry the 
love of his life in Lithuania, but she left him on the altar.  Having no luck 
in pursuing this woman, he emigrated to the South Florida area, and started to 
build his "dream house" for himself, his wife-not-to-be, and their imaginary 
children.

What he built was somewhat of a fortress.  It has four walls, a roof only
over a very small area.  There are tables, chairs, different "rooms" for
different purposes, etc.  All made of coral, and thus Coral Castle.

The odd thing is that the man built the castle himself.  He had no formal
education and knew little about engineering, yet, he was able to lift
pieces of coral, some weighing over 40 tons, with his bare hands.  To
this day, no one has ever figured out how he did it.  He died with
the secret in the 1950's.

The castle was once moved, when new owners of his land forced him out.
He found a truck, put the coral pieces on the truck, drove to his new
home, and deposited the rocks where they are now.  He lived here for close
to thirty years.

The front door weighs close to ten tons.  It is about eight or ten feet 
tall, and is wide enough to fit two people.  It rests in such a way that
it swivels when it is lightly touched.  A two year old could move this
door.  After a storm many years ago, the door was damaged so that it did
not move.  It took a team of engineers five years before they figured out
how to reproduce the easy opening door.

Epilogue:  About ten years ago, historians began a search for the women
who left him.  They found her in Lithuania, over eighty years old.  They
wanted to bring her to Homestead to show her what the man did because of
his love for her.  Her reply was to the effect of "I didn't want to have
anything to do with him then, and I don't want to have anything to do with
him now."  She never saw the castle.

The castle was one of the few structures to survive Andrew intact.

oh, dear, the curtain.  well, there *was* a curtain, but it was made
of a fabric so sturdy and so beautiful that it was taken down and cut
up to make work shirts for everybody - tough enough to suit the women

in any case, the idea of working behind a curtain struck many people

By either conspiracy or coincidence, there was a piece on the news last
night about ... accordions! It mentioned how many folks play(ed) the 
accordion - Elvis being the most notable. But the best remark was from
this man running an accordion festival, who exclaimed that San Francisco
is the accordion capital of the world!

up and down the Castro.
