What revelations may we not expect to enjoy! The "inside" story of the Kaiser's life as laid bare not long ago by his family physician will undoubtedly be quite outclassed. To be sure, "memoirs" are usually associated with the dead. But perhaps the late Emperor considers himself as good as dead--politically at least.

He never tires of blowing his trumpets for Georg Kalser and for Evreinov. He takes a whole chapter to analyze Kaiser's From Morn Till Midnight...
