Richard's overly, overly long citation reminded me of a
science article in Analog.  In other words, the science may be valid,
but that doesn't mean that Analog is a science magazine.  Or,
one might draw a comparison to Popular Mechanix -- it has 
material that can be considered science, but is still, I wot,
a hobby magazine.

Nope.  Some -- not a majority -- voted for Hitler for
President.  The man who defeated him for that post,
von  Hindenberg (sp?), later nominated him for
Chancellor.  If I recall correctly, the nomination 
was approved by a coalition of National Socialists 
and Nationalists (the National Socialists never 
achieved a parliamentary majority via free election).
