...Despite the evidence supplied by Third Cousin Gordon Ickes, stubborn Harold remains unconvinced that the coat of arms (see cut] is his own. The International Heraldic Institute's letter to Gordon Ickes states that the name Ickes is found in ancient records under various forms-Icke, Ike, Icken, Iken, Ihk, Ihken, Itzken, Itken, Ickel, Ickels, Ickes-and that these are all to be found in Heintze-Cascorbi's Die Deutschen Familiennamen, Berlin, 1933. The upper half of the shield is silver with a gold crescent on the breast of the black "demi eagle." The lower half...

...Paul called a meeting of his Cabinet, the first in nearly five months, to announce the terms of Germany's virtual ultimatum. Yugoslavia's handsome, youthful Regent is personally friendly toward Great Britain, but he is not made of the same tough stuff as was his late cousin, King Alexander, and unlike Alexander he has tried hard to placate the autonomy-minded Croats. Against the virtual certainty of losing Croatia and its neighbors if the German demands were resisted, Prince Paul advised their acceptance. His Premier, Dragisha Cvetkovitch, and Foreign Minister Aleksandar Cincar-Markovitch agreed. So, naturally...
