Krenz may face resistance within ruling circles as well.

John Curtis, an archaeologist from the British Museum, describes the treasure of Nimrud as the most significant archaeological...
...brief vacation in the owner's vintage Ford. Stevens hesitantly agrees. Running Darlington Hall with a staff of four, which Mr. Farraday has requested, as opposed to the 17 assistants Stevens once supervised, has been hard on his nerves. A drive to the West Country might do him good. Besides, Stevens has received a letter from Miss Kenton, the housekeeper who resigned in 1936 to be married, revealing that she has left her husband.
