Fascist etiquette?
By Phil Lawler (bio - articles ) | August 14, 2003 9:28 AM
Could you dream up a scenario in which, during the era of World War II, one individual would be friendly with both Hitler and Churchill?
I couldn't. But it happened.
Today's NY Times carries afascinating obituary for Lady Diana Mosley: a British expatriate, fascist, and-- perhaps above all-- socialite.
If I read the story correctly, this was a woman who took her ideas seriously-- seriously enough to go to jail for them. She was, in fact, a rabid ideologue. But there were limits. She might betray her husband and her country, but there must never be unpleasantness at a dinner party.
