Leni Riefenstahl was the one person Goebbels had no control over in the filmmaking community of Nazi Germany, and they despised each other. But because she was Hitler's favorite, she could do what she wanted. She was the only filmmaker that did not have to cow down to Joseph Goebbels.

A novel is like a long relationship and a short story is a brief one that lingers - it lingers powerfully and maybe more powerfully.
