This picture demonstrates that . . .
. . . History will deem the most vile villain to have been a Great Person if they create some sort of charity to perpetuate their name after spending a lifetime living it up on the bulk of their ill-gotten gains. PEABODY'S IMPROBABLE HISTORY: ALFRED NOBEL deals with serial secretary seducer who never married any of his victims to avoid having heirs who might contest his plans for posthumous self-aggrandizement by squandering his war profiteering fortune on annual "prizes" named after himself. Rubbing in salt to injury is the bitter irony that one of these violence-subsidized trinkets is for "Peace." An evangelistic atheist, had he lived long enough, Nobel would have encouraged The Fuhrer to rehabilitate his post-WWII Legacy by endowing annual artistic "Adolf" trophies and blue ribbons to be doled out to the future Rockwell's, Wyeth's and Warhol's of this world.
