...been ruled for just over two years not primarily by the Reichstag but by Presidential decrees drafted and administered by Herr von Hindenburg's hand-picked protégé, Chancellor Heinrich Brüning. He, a pale, ascetic, tremendously hard-working bachelor soon won greater world esteem than any German diplomat since the late, great Dr. Stresemann. Throughout Germany last week the President's abrupt act in kicking his protege back into obscurity produced an impression never before associated with the name of HINDENBURG?symbol of Loyalty and Duty...
...Vienna was never very far from reality. The Treaty of Paris had concluded peace in May 1814, incidentally mentioning a general rendezvous two months later in Vienna, to parcel out Napoleon's empire. No official summons was ever issued but in two months nearly every major European diplomat was in Vienna. Most of them might as well have been cinemactors; only five nations had anything to say: victorious Russia, Prussia, Austria, England and defeated France.

A few months ago, by wearing pajamas at the reception of a German diplomat, Mr. Long almost predicated an international crisis. Only a few condoned his unusual evening dress, for only a few were astute enough to realize that behind that melancholy face, beneath that rugged brow, there dwelt the searching spirit of a statesman...
...once said that no one could properly appreciate the genius of Richelieu unless he had stared long at the portrait of the Cardinal that hangs on the sepurchral walls of the Louvre. This is probably one of the truest of his statements. Philip de Chamaigne has clothed the greatest diplomat and statesman of the seventeenth century in an undying personality. The great Duke stands there, hand outstretched with its tendril fingers searching the air. There is the thin Castillian face sharpened by the neat goatee and the craggy nose. And there are too, the imperious, mocking eyes. Over this brilliant...
