All of The Revealer‘s Norwegian readers will want to look at Tore Gjerstad’s front pager from last week’s Dagbladet — what, you don’t read Dagbladet, the #2 daily in Norway? Get with it! — “Hitler-beundrer på audiens hos kongen.” Here at The Revealer, we know all the tongues of man, so we translate for you: “Hitler-admirer Received by King.” As in the king of Norway. The Hitler-admirer, is a man named Doug Coe, one of the subjects of my new book, The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power, coming next month from HarperCollins. If Norwegian isn’t your style, you can read all about him in Doug Ireland’s column for the French magazine Bakchich, “Hillary, l’Amérique, et l’intégrisme chrétien.” Hillary, you say? Yes, Hillary. But if you don’t speak frog, let NBC Nightly News’Andrea Mitchell explain it for you. Or you could just buy the book.
