...fanatically pious, fanatically ambitious, hawk-eyed onetime Austrian Empress Zita. Last week this talented schemer, a veritable Metternich in silk skirts, provoked a nationwide Austrian sensation by having her handsome, silky-mustached young Son Archduke Otto announce that he expects to return to Vienna not as Emperor but as "Regent in the name of my mother." This move of Zita's had the aroma of Papal diplomacy, fine and fragrant as musk. In Vienna the Catholic cohorts of Chancellor Dr. Kurt Schuschnigg, ardent restorationists, have been sorely troubled because hot-headed Vice Chancellor Prince Ernst Rudiger von Starhemberg...

Up for discussion were Archduke Otto's chances of restoration as Austrian Emperor (TIME, July...
...shortly appeared that faculty, students, most of Omaha were on Dr. Sea-lock's side. Some of his friends arranged a conference with a doubtful regent who might be persuaded to switch his vote. Late one afternoon Dr. Sealock was waiting to hear the result of that conference when he sat down at his desk, started his letter to Senator Norris. The telephone rang. The doubtful regent had called off the conference. ''It looks like a long fight," said the voice on the telephone. Dr. Sealock finished the letter, sat down to supper. After supper he talked...
