Hannah Arent wrote a book about "the banality of evil," which came out
of her reporting on the Adolf Eichman trial: that is, her astonishment
that the monster in the flesh should prove to be rather like a
doddering retired postal clerk.

There is no reason an evil-doer can't as easily be an intelligent,
charming man.

all the best -- Dan Ford
