Today at the editor’s glance: It’s the Flagler Tiger Bay mayoral forum tonight at the Palm Coast Community Center, with four of the six candidates in attendance: David Alfin, Carol Bacha, Doug Courtney and Cornelia Manfre. The forum will be broadcast on WNZF. More rain: a messy day ahead with showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon, with heavy rainfall possible in the afternoon. Euro 2020: Groups E and F are decided today, with Sweden v. Poland and Slovakia v. Spain at noon, and none of the four teams yet eliminated. Then it’s the Group of Death, with France facing Portugal and Germany facing Hungary at 3 p.m. France cannot afford to lose though it’ll take a tie, which won’t help Portugal advance if Germany beats Hungary, as it is expected to. See the standings here. All games on ESPN and Univision.

“I should like to put it on record that I have never been able to dislike Hitler. Ever since he came to power–till then, like nearly everyone, I had been deceived into thinking that he did not matter–I have reflected that I would certainly kill him if I could get within reach of him, but that I could feel no personal animosity. The fact is that there is something deeply appealing about him. One feels it again when one sees his photographs–and I recommend especially the photograph at the beginning of Hurst and Blackett’s edition, which shows Hitler in his early Brownshirt days. It is a pathetic, dog-like face, the face of a man suffering under intolerable wrongs. In a rather more manly way it reproduces the expression of innumerable pictures of Christ crucified, and there is little doubt that that is how Hitler sees himself.”
–George Orwell in his review of “Mein Kampf” for New English Weekly, March 21, 1940, collected in George Orwell, “Essays, Journalism and Letters, vol. 2, My Country Right or Left 1940-1943” (1968).
