But their evil is different. Pointy's COLD evil is more evil than Weissmann's
HOT one. Blicero's passion makes him more human than Pointsman. Furthermore,
I dare to doubt that you can really identify Weissmann's dream as "the Nazi
dream". Are his primary concerns really "ethnic cleanness" & the German world
domination? I'm not quite convinced of that. Can you give concrete passages?
