...true that more foreigners are acquiring land than ever before, but the numbers are still very small. In Texas, Prince Franz Joseph, the 72-year-old monarch of the 40,000-acre Principality of Liechtenstein, bought 16,000 acres of ranch land. Across the country, other rich aliens are doing the same.

(Actually, an example was close at hand: Cosima was the illegitimate child of Franz Lizst and a married French countess.) But as years passed, the pages of Tagebuch became a record of her life with Wagner. When he died in 1883 she laid it aside for good, though she lived until 1930. Publication has been delayed by family squabbling and resultant legal complications...
