...over twenty years ago, his ideas and even snatches of his routines still appear in plays, movies, articles, and even Harvard Band half-time shows. Lenny's style is blunt, even callous, creating outlandish imaginary situations: the Lone Ranger becomes a lonely homosexual who can't accept gratitude; Adolf Hitler is reduced to a house painter, cast as the Fuhrer by ambitious producers. His delivery is equally abrupt--he bends words, runs phrases together and throws away punch lines like a jazz musician improvising a solo...

Her anti-Semitism would not have come to the surface in such a violent way if it hadn't been the channel for other resentments, just as Hitler needed German's economic and political frustrations as well as her endemic anti-Semitism to make "the Jewish question" so powerful a part of his regime...
