| Summary/Abstract |
THIS GREAT PATRON OF THE ARTS lives in the small Principality of Liechtenstein high up in the mountains. His villa is hidden from prying eyes by cascading wisteria blooms and the spreading branches of an ancient spruce tree. To reach it, you need to follow the steeply climbing road from the center of Vaduz and, right before castle, take a barely perceptible turn to the left. This will lead you to the baron's villa, at the entrance of which is a sign "Askania-Nova" portraying the head of a horse. The host's favorite place is in the living room on a couch by the huge window that affords a magnificent view of the Swiss Alps.

| Summary/Abstract |
ON AUGUST 26, 1936, the American press was abuzz with the news that William Bullitt, the first U.S. ambassador to Moscow, had returned to Washington before the end of his tenure. The New York World wrote that the critical situation in Europe required an experienced diplomat to serve as ambassador to the Soviet Union. The Baltimore Sun took up the refrain, stating that the appointment of a new ambassador was a serious problem, keeping in mind the role of Russia in European affairs and in light of America's traditional interests in the Pacific Ocean.
