Most West Germans have dropped their recollections of Hitler's Reich down a convenient memory hole and are disinclined to resurrect them. To make sure that they are nonetheless nudged from time to time is the task of a small but diligent scholarly organization with the innocuous name Institut fuer Zeitgeschichte (Institute for Contemporary History), housed in a quiet, three-story house in Munich, the city where Hitler got his start...

...asides. In a take-off on 42nd Street flesh cinemas ("Doors open promptly at 3 a.m."), Doorkeeper Betty barks: "You've heard of Madame Pompadour, you've heard of Madame DuBarry. Now dig Madame Curie, the greatest madame of them all!" From their turkey Bonanza Bound, they resurrect Inspiration, which credits women with inspiring great men through the ages.

Thus to my Hegelian sensibility, the pendulum theory appears an arbitrary construct. Western culture incorporates not only Biblical and Hellenic elements, but also Gothic. It takes up parts of these traditions and discards others. The classical Renaissance did not simply resurrect the Ancients in their old form.
