Leopold, sensitive and sexually in the thrall of the more psychopathic Loeb, conspired to kill a boy just for the excitement of doing it. Loeb was killed in prison by another inmate. Leopold, remorseful, was freed after thirty-four years and then led a socially useful life.

42. Friedrich Nietzsche, Also Sprach Zarathustra, ed. and trans. Stanley Appelbaum (Mineola, NY. Dover Press, 2004 [1883-85]), p. 10. The original reads "Der Mensch ist ein Seil, geknupft zwischen Tier and Ubermensch-ein Seil fiber einem Abgrunde." Uberrnensch is often translated "overman" to avoid the word superman, which has overtones either of the comic-book character or the goose-stepping Nazis. Nietzsche did not have in mind brutish men like the Nazis; rather, an independent, morally superior, artistic man-beyond or more than the ordinary person. For easier comprehension, I prefer the phrase "superior man" here: one who would be at the farthest remove from the commission of evil, in the sense I have been using it in this book.
