	Amazon.com: Hoax: Why Americans Are Suckered by White House Lies: Books: Nicholas Von Hoffman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Von Hoffman employs the metaphor of a giant dome or biosphere that shields America and causes its people to interpret world events in uniquely American terms ("Nations are often imbued with the belief that they are special, but the American credo is that the US is special-special").
		Von Hoffman points to an array of factors for this belief, notably an almost secular faith in "manifest destiny" and the morality of democracy, media that act as a collective handmaiden to government action, and a smugness that hatred of the U.S. is simply born of envy of American wealth.
		Von Hoffman confirms Saddam as the butcher of Baghdad and was a ruthless dictator responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iranians, during the Iran-Iraq war, Kurds, and the random butchering of Iraqis whom he suspected as enemies of the Baath regime.

	Conservative Cat: Nicholas Hoffman and the Reproductive Right
		Nicholas von Hoffman is a columnist for the New York Observer.
		Nicholas von Hoffman also wrote a play, Geneva, which appears to have the same plot as the Devil's Dictionary of Business, and (here I'm going to completely undercut his credibility) he worked briefly as a liberal commentator for 60 Minutes.
		Von Hoffman could be making an oblique reference to the standard liberal belief that abstinence education (which many conservatives favor) leads to higher rates of pregnancy.

	classical music - andante - no life for this tsar
		Nicholas von Hoffman's libretto is more or less faithful to history, but it is less a dramatization than a crude exposition of facts — leaving little room for the performers to create any sense of character.
		Nicholas has a few shrill measures here and there, but they are offset by moments when the music slips into graceful, flowing interludes, as when the crown prince Alexis and his guardian interact.
		Nicholas II's most famous quote was that "There is no justice among men." One might equally say that there is little justice among audiences.

		Von Hoffman suggests that America's people have lived in a hermetically sealed day-dream -- which he calls variously a biosphere, a terrarium, a glass-domed version of our own reality -- in which we are forever right and the rest of the world is wrong and who cares what goes on outside the glass anyway.
		Von Hoffman, in a wide ranging critique of the gullible American people, writes that we have been bred on the idea that the United States is a special, God-given home for special people.
		In Von Hoffman's chapter on the US as missionary, he summarizes incursions of the American military from the Native Americans disenfranchisement from their own land in the early decades of the republic to the present day Iraq war, describing the US motives as

	The Urban Man
		The performers we saw on Wednesday the 17th gave it their all: the orchestra sparkled, the chorus spoke in hushed precision, the leads and supporting cast sang with power and feeling.
		The libretto, by Nicholas Von Hoffman, violated the two most basic rules of opera: Rule 1—don’t waste much time with scene-setting, get right to the drama.
		As Nicholas and Alexandra, local favorites Rodney Gilfry and Nancy Gustafson turned in exceptional performances under difficult circumstances: carving what vocal drama they could out of their parts.

	Letter to New York Observer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Nicholas von Hoffman suggests, as the leading question of his column's title implies, that those who criticize Israel are unfairly accused of being anti-Semitic ("Are Critics of Israel Smeared as Anti-Semites?" May 19).
		von Hoffman ignores is that Israel is often criticized unlike any other country, singled out and scapegoated by political double standards, selective moral judgments and the propaganda of demonization.

		Von Hoffman points to larger shifts in the newspaper business: “The Post can no longer be an instrument of a particular person’s mentality, or politics, or whatever.
		Von Hoffman notes that his Post was the product of a specific time and place, a time when a mass audience demanded eccentric, combative journalism; a time when family-owned newspapers tolerated quirks and leaned toward the unconventional.
