That is one very weird biography -- akin to a study of conjoined twins once pickled in a mason jar. The "effect" is tenuous--an afterthought to fill the gaping holes left by US 8th Army and SCAP reconstruction. The reverence afforded the subjects' purported intimacy and casual fascist habits is comically perfunctory. Which reminded me why I distain biography.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
