But what say you?

I'm reading his book on the 1972 election (I know an old Teamster organizer from Michigan that worked in the McGovern campaign - he is also racist - and that race has other interest as George Wallace was a threat until he got shot). He is openly McGovernick, even during the Democrat primaries, but the opening pages of the book are openly racist as he describes then 72% black Washington D.C. This is a guy that seems to relish breaking all the rules and appeals well to my countercultural sensibilities like, say, Charles Bukowski. I'm also interested in his book on the Hell's Angels.

While there was speculation and some evidence suggesting a potential South African connection to the assassination of Olof Palme, Swedish prosecutors concluded that the primary suspect was Stig Engström, a graphic designer, not an international conspiracy. They also stated that there was "not enough evidence" to implicate South Africa in the assassination.

Elaboration:

The South African Connection:

There were claims that South Africa, led by the apartheid regime, might have been involved in Palme's assassination due to his strong opposition to apartheid and his efforts to impose sanctions against the regime.

Stig Engström as the Suspect:

After years of investigation, Swedish prosecutors named Stig Engström, also known as "Skandia Man," as the most likely assassin.

No Direct Evidence of South Africa:

While the South African connection was a prominent theory, Swedish investigators did not find enough conclusive evidence to definitively link South Africa to the crime.

Closure of the Investigation:

Due to the death of Engström and the lack of further evidence, the investigation was closed in 2020, with the conclusion that Engström was the most likely perpetrator.

"The average height of a Swedish man is 180.5 cm (5 feet, 11.06 inches). This is also reflected as 180 cm (5 ft 10 7/8 in) in some sources."

"The average male height in the Netherlands is around 183.8 cm (6 ft 0.25 in). This makes Dutch men among the tallest in the world. The average height of Dutch women is 168.7 cm (5 ft 6.5 in)."

"The average height of an Irish man is approximately 5'10" (178 cm). However, some sources indicate a slightly higher average, such as 5'11" (180cm), placing Ireland in the top 20 globally for height. Irish men have become taller on average over the past century, with a significant increase in height from 1914 to 2014."

The average height for men in Russia is 176 cm (5 feet 9.1 inches). This is slightly taller than the average male height worldwide, which is 5 feet 7.5 inches.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

176 cm (5 feet 9.1 inches): is the average height for men in Russia.
176 cm (5 feet 9.1 inches): is also the average height of men in the United States.
176 cm (5 feet 9.1 inches): is slightly taller than the average worldwide male height of 5 feet 7.5 inches.

"The average height for men in Denmark is approximately 5 feet 11.61 inches (181.9 cm). This places Denmark among the countries with the tallest average male height globally."

"The average height for males in Mexico is around 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 meters). Some sources suggest a range between 5'4" and 5'7", with those of more European ancestry potentially being taller. The latest census data from INEGI indicates an average height of 1.70 meters (5'7") for males."

"In 2019, the average height of adult men in Japan is around 170.8 cm (about 5 feet 7 inches), and for women it's 159.5 cm (almost 5 feet 2 inches)."
