"This polemic against the authoritarianism of J. Edgar Hoover is dated. Let's face it, Hoover is gone and he, we hope, took his shenanigans with him. However, in these post-Snowden days, the book could not be more relevant. The crux of Cook's argument"

“Is it true that you have this banker’s calling card to mark your place when you stop?”
John Pope nodded.
“Where did you get it from?” his mother demanded.
John swallowed hard, met her stare with a wounded look, and said, “I slipped it into my pocket during one of my deliveries to his office. I was going to ask him for a job, or at least a reference for a clerical position in Manhattan.”
“That sounds like a fish story to me, but apparently he saw something in you that brought him all the way to our doorstep,” his father said flatly.”
― Ginter's Pope

“Most gay men did not speak out against anti-gay policing so openly, but to take this as evidence that they had internalized anti-gay attitudes is to ignore the strength of the forces arrayed against them, to misinterpret silence as acquiescence, and to construe resistance in the narrowest of terms - as the organization of formal political groups and petitions.”

“In an interview with the main tabloid, Bild, in November 2004, shortly before becoming chancellor, she was asked what emotions Germany aroused in her. She replied, ‘I am thinking of airtight windows. No other country can build such airtight and beautiful windows.”

“Made profoundly aware of his mortality, Keynes decided in 1937 to set up a permanent fund that would provide Duncan Grant, now fifty-two, with a regular annual income. Although it had been twenty-five years since Grant and Keynes had been lovers or lived together, their importance to each other had endured.”
