He's in a better place now, where no one will kick sand in his face ever again and everyone is perfectly oiled-- forever.

I read his book The murder of Napoleon in the mid-eighties when I was a young'un. It was the first book I had ever read by someone who was strongly focused on a topic and followed their theory through to a conclusion. Thanks for the post.
