There is a narrative to every life, and I believe in the classic mode of storytelling that goes back to Homer and carries through to today.

The first casualty of war is innocence.

From '45, the moment Franklin Roosevelt dies, we're running ratlines with the Germans, helping Nazis escape.

There was a certain faction in America that had always been pro-Nazi, including the Allen Dulles people. These were businessmen, Wall Street men.

The past assumes the nature of the present.

When you look at the global situation, if America learned to be one of the many countries in the world and to find its way to cooperate with people and bring a global peace that could bring great prosperity to this globe, there is still a chance of that, and that's a big lesson from history. We are not paying attention to that.

Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works.
