I don’t want to get into the habit of attacking our continental partners - I was, of course, pained to read in our letters column the complaint of the Italian ambassador about my calling his banana republic of a country a banana republic - but I do feel compelled to ask one question in particular this week: what is it with the Austrians? We had just about come to terms with the fact that this one little nation produced, in short order, Adolf Hitler, Kurt Waldheim, and The Sound of Music, and seems still - 63 years after they cleaned out the ovens of Auschwitz - to have anti-semitism as one of its national sports. Now a barbarian of Hitlerian proportions locks up his daughter in a cellar, fathers seven children by her, and (in a peculiarly Nazi touch) threatens to gas any who try to escape: this coming a year after another girl was found after being locked in another cellar for six years. What else are they hiding underground? Is Hitler really dead?
