There have been some encouraging results: the Nigerian ambassador has finally found a suitable embassy; the ambassador of Mali, previously frustrated in his attempt, can now establish a chancery in a selected residential zone. But the struggle continues. Says one State Department official: "Our job is to assure that foreign policy is carried out by the President and State Department and not impaired by the actions of a barber on Connecticut Avenue or a restaurant owner in Maryland...
Back in 1953, when it still looked as if the Russians were going to occupy their zone of partitioned Austria forever, grassroots Politician Julius Raab in a friendly but firm way ousted his People's Party colleague, Leopold Figl, from the chancellorship.

There the ship was heated by friction and suffered tremendous strain, but the braking effect was distributed over thousands of miles of flight. "At the height of several tens of kilometers [one kilometer-.62 miles] above the earth." said Fedorov, "the spaceship's speed...
...fascist Europe and African apartheid. In the dreamworld process of carving out a united and expanded Europe independent of cold war blocs, Mosley announced that "South Africa, part of Rhodesia, the Sahara and Algeria would belong to us. Blacks, if they like, could remain in the white zone-but without voting or civil rights. I think they would make out well just the same." On hand to introduce Sir Oswald at the neo-fascist rally was Expatriate Poet Ezra Pound, 75, who interrupted his own dreamworld sojourn in Rapallo to revisit the scene of his wartime, anti-U.S. radio...
