Simonson helped Krueger's cause by campaigning listlessly while keeping up his running feud with feminism.

To avoid a replay of the Rogers-Kissinger feud, Nixon dropped Connally as his choice to succeed Rogers as Secretary of State and gave Kissinger the job instead...
...crown during the 19th century; the prince was heir to their romantic lost cause. Although the Roman Catholic Carlists supported Franco during the Spanish Civil War, the generalissimo refused to recognize their dynastic claims and subsequently expelled Prince Xavier from the country. In recent years, a family feud between Xavier's sons-Leftist Prince Hugo and Traditionalist Prince Sixto-has divided the Carlist Party. Their father's death is expected to deepen this schism...
