...blocked Otto's reentry, to the vast relief of a great many Austrians who recall the empire with a vivid mixture of nostalgia and Angst. So powerful an issue is the long-dead monarchy that the campaign has even been enlivened by a Dusseldorf human-relations counselor, Dr. Theodor Rudolf Pachmann, who last month petitioned for recognition as the only legitimate heir of Emperor Franz Josef. His ground: that his father was born in 1883 to a secret marriage between a Tuscan princess and Crown Prince Rudolf...
...meant to be more, even, than a state visit. Officially, it was the formal return of the visit by Germany's late President Theodor Heuss to Buckingham Palace in 1958. The glacial response he got then and the deep-rooted hostility many Britons still harbor toward their wartime enemies delayed the return engagement seven years, until German protocol officials had privately given up hope. Finally, last spring the Conservative government decided to find out whether the past was indeed past, and last fall incoming Prime Minister Harold Wilson concurred. As Chancellor Ludwig Erhard put it, the royal visit...
DAVID GILBOA-Theodor Herzl Institute, 515 Park Ave. at 60th. A Hungarian who migrated to the Holy Land 30 years ago, Gilboa settled in the artists' colony at Safad and became one of Israel's popular painters.

Stomach surgery has developed in a broken-gaited fashion, with surgeons periodically going back to and modifying old techniques. Physicians realized in the 1880s that man can get along, after a fashion, with only a remnant of his stomach. German-born Surgeon Theodor Billroth then decided it was possible to cut out the lower stomach and pylorus and join what was left of the stomach to the duodenum (see top diagram). After this "subtotal gastrectomy," or "Billroth I," came a still more daring invention, "hemigastrectomy," or "Billroth II": cutting out about half of the stomach and hitching up what...
...Police the Prose. Such maxims honed the pens of such famed Lambuth protégés as Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss), Novelist Budd Schulberg, Poets Richard Eberhart and Richmond Lattimore. The book was long out of print when Lambuth died in 1948, but old grads treasured old copies, and not long ago Adman S. Heagan Bayles ('33) lovingly printed a new edition of 1,000 to police the prose at his Manhattan agency, Sullivan, Stauffer, Colwell & Bayles. This fall, courtesy of the ad agency rather than the English department, the Dartmouth business school joyfully revived The Golden Book...
