Donald Trump and Nikola Tesla

Reading the Wikipedia article on the life of Nikola Tesla, I read that when Tesla died in room 3327 of The New Yorker Hotel,  the F.B.I confiscated all the papers written by Tesla and had them examined by Professor John G. Trump of M.I.T., the uncle of the GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Professor John G. Trump announced that the Tesla papers were unimportant and there was nothing of value in them. But was he telling the truth?  Could Professor Trump have been privy to marvelous scientific secrets that he, and the F.B.I., did not want the world to know?  Would this secret knowledge explain the brash self-confidence of Donald Trump since the Trump family might know Tesla's explanation of the universe?  Check out this link: http://www.pbs.org/tesla/ll/ll_mispapers.html

Other than the U.S., most World War 2 generals were really short

Ever notice how short the generals were in World War 2? Granted, the U.S. had tall generals but all the others were really short. Based on photos, Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery was the same size as Churchill and Churchill was only 5 feet 6 inches.  Based on photos of them standing together, the fearless Soviet general Georgy Zhukov was shorter than Montgomery.  Likewise, the Germans had Erwin Rommel, who was only 5’6” according to his son Manfred, and Field Marshal Walter Model who was noticeably shorter in photos than the Fuehrer who was only 5’8’’.  Wonder why they were all so short?
