<HTML>Well, to be totally objective, and unemotional, with an assessment, I\'d agree \"arrogant\" would be accurate along with intelligent, capable, and ruthless...but \"stupid\" is getting away from objectivity I think.

One might even add brutal, cruel, and cold...although I intended these in the ruthless category, in my own mind anyway.

Being an English major, I know literature is filled with stories of men who met their downfall because of undue pride (or, arrogance)...and this I think equates well to Heydrich\'s reckless disregard for his own safety, which helped an assassination attempt to be successful. Although it nearly wasn\'t. Blood poisoning set in due to fabric remnants inbedded from the grenade blast...largely horse hair, from the seat cushions. There were many minute shards of metal scattered throughout his body and organs, but the blood poisoning became the real killer.... </HTML>
