...forever, grassroots Politician Julius Raab in a friendly but firm way ousted his People's Party colleague, Leopold Figl, from the chancellorship. And although pro-Western Figl was kept on as Foreign Minister, Austria's relations with the Western powers were judiciously permitted to deteriorate until Raab, hat humbly in hand, could travel to Moscow as something of a neutral.

She appeared scarved, barelegged and besandaled at Good Friday services. For Sunday she had assembled her standard pillbox hat-in blue straw-and matching two-piece, silk-shantung dress.
