...would receive nobody before she left, least of all Supreme Court Justice Constantin Saratzeanu, though he humbly sought an audience. Grandmother Queen Marie could not forgive Justice Saratzeanu for having been elected by Parliament to a vacancy among the three Regents of Rumania (TIME, Oct. 21), a vacancy which she had dearly coveted. As Her Majesty's special train chuffed off toward Balcic all Rumania gasped at an interview blazoned above her name by the Royalist newspaper Universal: "The royal family does not even know what it means to strive for honors and privileges. We do not need such...
...latest expedition, completed last summer, was another fact-finding tour of Egyptian parts. One of his interesting discoveries was that of the empty sarcophagus that once contained the mummified body of Queen Hetep-Heres I, mother of Cheops. Another was a "haunted" fort, which no one dared investigate, because the natives feared being punished by the "shiekh" for a crime committed generations before...
Mary's death made Elizabeth queen at 25. The yellow-red ringlets of her hair framed a dead-white face accented by dark, steady eyes.

A few years later, harassed by his insubordination, she signed his death warrant. Alternating between vicious whim and heroism, no admirer ever brought her a full, rich, personal love. When she died, no man's hand could, by her will, touch her body to embalm...
...Author. In 1920 Katherine Anthony wrote her "psychological biography" of Margaret Fuller, in 1925 her intimate account of Catherine the Great. When she heard Queen Elizabeth's first five chapters had pleased Literary Guild Editor Carl Van Doren, Author Anthony forwarded three chapters at a time, as written, to Publisher Knopf. She refused to hurry, Guild or no Guild. Born in Arkansas, she attended Peabody College of Teachers in Nashville, Tenn., studied in Chicago, Heidelberg, Freiberg. A brown-haired, blue-eyed, middle-aged feminist, she has gone to Russia or to England, as the case may be, to collect...
