Notes

• This assignment refers to any number of fictional sources involving time travel to kill 20th Century Earth dictators, possibly including, but not limited to, the Desmond Warzel short story "Wikihistory" or, alternatively, to the "Command & Conquer: Red Alert" series of video games. It might as well refer to "Time Cop" in which the hypothesis of traveling further back in time to assassinate Hitler is dismissed as being too hazardous "No matter how tempting it is."
