Eh, they lived to 86 and 76 respectively. Average lifespans that set no great longevity record.
“Eh, they lived to 86 and 76 respectively.”
I agree on the second, maybe it was another Nazi I was thinking of. ‘Course, Speer got to appear on talk shows and plug his best-sellers, Inside the Third Reich and Spandau, after he was released from prison. Klaus Barbie (the Butcher of Lyon) died in a French prison at 77 which wasn’t that old either. I remember 60 Minutes doing a story on another one who lived in a French prison and he was the only person there! Seemed like he was pretty old, but I can’t remember who. Khomeini, on the other hand, lived beyond what was average for men then, 3 months short of 87. Having been personally affected by his takeover, I still think he lived far too long after that mess. Many, many evil people live pretty long lives, especially compared to the lives of all those they cut short.
