...promptly proved his worth by storming Vienna and conquering two rich Austrian duchies for himself. His latest descendant is not so bold. Banished when his father Karl I was toppled from power after World War I, the current pretender to the throne of Austria-Hungary last week came home to his domains as plain...
...compromise in Viet Nam that might compromise his kingdom's independence and security. "To us, peace can have only one meaning," he said. "It must be peace with honor and freedom." Replied Johnson: "America keeps its commitments." Sirikit, seated next to Bhumibol in front of a motherof-pearl throne with a nine-tiered canopy (symbolizing her husband's place as the ninth King in the Chakri line), glowed in a champagne-colored gown, despite a lingering cold and a heavy dose of antibiotics.

Welles, who plays a Venetian savant, is all dressed up to look like Leonardo da Vinci, but then he queers the pitch by muttering something about a navigational device he calls an "astrolobe." Horst Bucholz, who plays the acrobattling hero, obviously doesn't have the thighs for this sort of work, but he makes up for that with some of the niftiest karate ever seen in medieval Persia...
