'Cat and Mouse'

I really found Gunter Grass really refreshing. A voice of post-war Germany, who brought a very personal view of his homeland without swastikas, Hitler or Holocaust.

But is this a mistake? Grass makes everything so sweet and provincial. Were people in Germany just sitting around and waiting for something to happen? Maybe they were.

How many people in the United States the last eight years have ignored two wars? How many watched bad economics being played? How many watched baseball players hit a record number of home runs without fully thinking that maybe, just maybe, those weren't natural?

Yes, I just compared baseball to the Holocaust. I'd like to see you do that.
